Just a reminder ,bro's when injecting ,beware be sterile ,I've seen a lot and heard a lot of horror stories lately ,and got me second guessing my own procedures ,first my hands are cleaned


1) I take a clean cotton ball,and swab the top of my vial,and then wipe sides 


2) if I'm using glute ,I swab the whole cheek thoroughly 


3) this allow area to air dry ,natty ,no wiping 


4) note once I swab ,bottle and site ,I do not touch agion until


5) already having clean hands ,I now dump a little alcohol into my hands ,before touching sterile drawing pin,


6) once drawn I change tip, 


7) if your like me ,you generally feel inject site before pinning ,its automatic ,we do it and that's why I alcohol my hands ,every thing else can be sterile ,you touch site with finger ,and infect area I always alcohol my hands


8) maybe this is over kill but the stories I've heard ,and bro's I know that end up in hospital ,taking iv ,antibiodics and surgeries 


Its Scarry bro's and its no joke one of these infections can ,make you loose a limb or worse ,you can end up in a box ,so take your time ,and be safe ,I wanted to post ,because some times we get complacent , and forget

lol always use fresh supplies. I probably use like 6-8 swabs per injection because im ultra paranoid. My bathroom is a mess when im done. better to be safe than sorry tho for sure.


always use fresh swabs, always use new needles. and NEVER touch needle with fingers or against anything else and NEVER touch site your about to inject.


carefully select injection site also avoiding any obvious veins or hair follicles. Ive seen a nasty infection caused by injecting through a hair follucule.


follow those rules and you will likely never have to worry about infections assuming you have clean gear.

It's no joke that's really about how many swabs I use. Everything gets wiped. after hands are cleaned. Probly more sterile than the hospital.

I dont use cotton balls because a friend of mine once caught cotton fever- i know theres no way of this happening because cotton fever is not caused by little cotton in the system.. ;Contrary to popular belief and junkie myth, cotton fever is not the result of accidentally injecting small cotton fibers into your blood, but is actually caused by an endotoxin from the bacteria Enterobacter agglomerans that can reside in picked cotton. The toxin is disolved into the drug solution, and when the injector injects the drug, the toxin causes an immediate and severe flu-and-fever like illness that can last anywhere from several hours to a day or two." by Urban Dictionary.

 

but i use baby wipes drenched in 90% alcohol. But i let.the the alcohol completely dry first

This info cannot be stated too often, thanks for the reminder. I some times get sloppy, especially early morning pinning, all groggy and what not. All to often, i see my jug of isopropyl alcohol untouched with the needle in my ass cheek. Think i need to make a checklist, like one of those u see in janitorial closets! Use the fucking alcohol  first blast! Thanks seig :)

sterile,

sterile is being clean., disenfecting ones skin., with alcohol.to kill those millions of germs we havemon us. 

oh you just took.a shower. does a.person actually know.,.next to the kitchen , the shower area carries just as much germs ?? sterile.is taking the time.and trying to kill any germ.that maybe on you  , before sticking that germ.into your body , and what i mean is.  by stick that 25 g or 22g threw your skin , into your blood stream., thats at least trying to be sterile .

and i also agree cotton balls are not the way to go., i also had cotton fever alot , to much , and not from AAS , but still the same i had it , and to my understanding i honestly thought it was from a little piece of cotton ..

thankyou whoever clarified its actually a germ.in the cotton..

i have had it numeroustimes and it fucking is one of the worst experiences your body instantly gets cold.and freezing and shaking and alll its horrible.  

so i also do not use cotton balls i use every day paper towel soak it clean.area., then the bottle tops.and procede to pin ..and by the grace of the gods i have been blessed.  

but that is sterile my friend hope you understand.  

wow almost a 3 year old.post.  wow me and novelskee , brings back memorys and actually how long im here.   and hopefully another 3 coming.

I think I figured it out: STERIAL is a combination between sterile and serial.

So, a STERIAL killer would be someone who kills lots of people, but is really clean about it.
