WHAT CAUSES A BAD INFECTION AFTER INJECTION

TweetLETS HEAR EVERYONE ANSWERS

TweetIMO laziness. We all know the scientific reason a person gets an infection, bacteria or a foreign substance is introduced into the body during an injection. There are those cases where it happens no matter how safe we are but for the most part, it's easily avoidable. Most times I hear of someone getting an infection is from trying to use the same pin(needle) more than once. That is just unacceptable. Other things I've read is where guys are in their car before going into the gym and are injecting in the parking lot... Not a very sterile clean environment. Neither is my bathroom but I I'm not in a cramped space with the possibility of brushing the needle on something or grabbing vials out and possible touching the top of them even after they are wiped with an alcohol pad. There to some people do not clean the tops of their vials before each use or do not clean the area they are about to inject. Also using the same pin to draw as well as inject. Not as much risk there but just another chance for cross contamination.

Most of it comes down to common sense.

1. Wash your hands
2. Get an alcohol wipe and clean the top of your vials
3. Use a seperat sealed needle and barrel to draw.
4. After you draw, put the cap back on the draw needle remove it and switch it out with a brand new sterile needle with a cap
5. Wash your hands again and prep injection site with alcohol pad
6. Remove cap, pin and bandage it up.


Pretty simple, I may have forgotten a few things but that's the way I have done it for years and so far no infections.



Plus use gear from a person you trust.

TweetNon sterile gear, non sterile pins, not using good aseptic technique (when you clean the site you are using aseptic technique not creating a sterile environment.... Your butt cheek is not sterile after simply swabbing it with alcohol), being a carrier of atypical bacteria on skin (MRSA), bad luck

Tweet^ thats what I was going to say. short answer is bacteria.

You should make a certain clean place and routine and follow it. I keep a bottle of the stuff doctors/surgeons wash their hands with and ues it then rubbing alcohol too. Dont just carry gear around in your pocket, in your car or something like that then use it. Keep it clean in the first place and it less likely for something to go wrong.

TweetStupidty and rushing ur shots I saw a freind drop a syringe on the floor in bathroom pick it up and pin

TweetI think it's good to have a reminder of how important it is to maintain a clean injection area. For a lot of bodybuilders, the whole routine of injections probably becomes monotonous. It gets so routine and common it's easy to skip steps which could create a not-so-sterile environment and possibly lead to an infection. I like the suggestions LT mentioned in the post above. Always need to remember to keep a clean and sterile environment when injecting.
