If you don't get an abscess that gets big and needs to be cut open i would be shocked. You definitely need antibiotics to help prevent it and maybe you'll get lucky with just fever and be sick a few days. Like mentioned before, its not optional to filter this shit. Your literally injecting it in your body.

I take steroids without filtering for over a year. I never had any problems
Ok man. Just keep doing it that way. Pray a lot though.
JFC... how the hell did you learn to homebrew without understanding the role of the filters?

I mean you can do whatever you want. The risk isnt that high you will get something nasty but why risk it. You have have a relatively clean process and have no issues for a long time but then get fucked. The consequences are bad not mild. You may get lucky and your body fights it off or is treatable with antibiotics. The point is a normal homebrew scenario you have no control over contaminates and air quality but you can control how clean your gear is by filtering.
I will also add I though I was getting infections when I first started homebrewing. It turns out you can get a immune response from severe inflamation. What it ended up being is that I wasnt adding a proper amount of oil and my concentrations were off. I also lowered the amount of solvent and ba I was using and now I have no issues.
In conclusion, filter your gear so you they dont have to amputate ya ass (literally)

I bought the syringe filters. can I sterilize filters and vials in an oven or microwave?

Do not use a microwave you cant control the heat and will not kill bacteria necessarily because the microwave works. I have never heard of sterilizing filters themselves. Vials you can use dry heat. Filters should be good to go. Did you not get sterile filters?

frozen are you saying to filter a little b.a inside it or just pass the outer ends?
I was thinking about boiling everything in a pan with water, filters, bottles and rubber lids and then passing 70 alcohol. What do you think about that, my dear?

if you have a syringe filter, just load something like 5ml of BA and pass it trough the filter .. its a pre filtration step...
personally i dont know about boiling the syringe filter, i think you can ruin it... of course your filter should be compatible with BA... it should be PVDF or PTFE.. think even Nylon

Ba doesnt sterilize it just prevents growth. Solvents ive read are the filter killer so to speak, ba is not a solvent. You also have to consider that pure ba is not even remotely close to what you will be filtering when in solution. Ptfe works Ive used them many times. If you are worried about sterility you can cook your gear after you make it. Take the finished product and out it the oven with small gauge needle stuck in the top for ventilation. Oil expands when heated and will build pressure in a sealed vial. Cook your gear about 180f for 30-45 mins. I dont recomend this for tren but I have also never brewed tren.

No.
Cooking it isn’t going to remove particles or debris. You can have 100% clean glassware but you have no idea what might be in the raws already.
Filtering is not optional. You need to filter. Period.

I didnt say that did I? I specifically said sterility. I assumed that the brewing includes filtering....like i posted about the importance of filtering on this thread and it might even be on this same page...wtf
