Forgot to swab the area b4 injection!

[McFakerton]

Allrighty, I just popped my cherry into my right quad moments ago.

I washed my hands thouroughly, popped the top off the vial (brand new), loaded the syringe (1 cc of Sust) , let a couple of drops of oil run down the needle, and poked it into my quad about 1.25". I aspirated for a couple of seconds and then pushed the oil into me. I'm officially a juicer.

The steps I forgot (and was prepared for, damnit) was to swab my injection area and rubber stopper with alcohol beforehand.

I'm hoping it doesn't end up being a big deal (abscess), but I can't believe that I forgot to do it. Excited I guess...

All in all it was fairly lackluster. I've never been afraid of needles so the thought of injecting never scared me, the only time I hesitated was right before I poked, and only for a second.

So, did I fuck up big time, or do I just need to remember to swab beforehand next time?

Also, any tips for keeping the pain in the quad down. It doesn't hurt at all right now, but I imagine later it will.

Have you seen an abcess? Did you hear about the guy that had to have his leg amputated? Did you hear about the guy that died becuase he didn't go to the hospital when his infection went septic? Do you know how long you are going to have to wait before you figure out wether or not you have an abcess? Have you ever seen a guy with one leg try and pick up girl?

This should help you think next time.

I've swabbed the stopper + area every single time.... Never forgot, and never suffered for it. I hope that even though you did forget you get lucky and nothing happens though. You'll find out in the next few days (if the area is red/sore/irritated/warm to the touch).

Oh shit your leg's gonna fall off!!. Don't worry,chances are nothing will happen from it,do try though to remember next time cause abcesses do suck,i have had a couple of them before.

man oh man you guys are gonna stress this fucker out, again in 8 years with literally THOUSANDS of injections i've never once swabbed my skin, the stopper yes, but never my skin.......and i've taken as many as 21 shots in one day before, 8 shots of PGF2 in each arm, 2 shots of IGF and 2 shots of HGH along with a shot of test/eq etc

man oh man guys, he's gonna be just fine

i'd like to know more about the guy who had to have his leg amputated actually.

 

[McFakerton]

I'm not really that worried about it, but I figured I'd post the question anyway.

I always swab the skin but always forget the stopper!!

I wouldn't worry you should be fine
