    well an abscess is caused when an infection is contained by your body. Essentially the infection cannot spread, but white blood cells can travel to it. This is what causes the large red boil on your skin that hurts like hell. If you are doing frequent injections and not giving yourself ample rotation spots you can increase the chance of an abscess because your body won't have enough time to absorb the oil you are putting in your muscles.

    As for sterility, you can never be completely sterile. The only sterile injections would be done in a clean room. so there is always a chance for infection. We take precautions to minimize this risk but it is ever present. Yes you have a chance of getting an abscess, but I wouldn't loose any sleep over it. If you happen to develop one then don't sweat it, go to the doc as soon as you can, he will probably lance it, let it drain a few days, pack it and give you heavy antibiotics.

    Not taking enough precautions, and using un-sterile oil made by a poorly run UG Lab.

    I give myself a week before I get back to the same spot. Is this an adequate amount of time, or is something less frequent in order?

    Just had infection in quad, I could not touch it, bend it, walk up stairs or anything. I use 25g pins to inject but use a 21g to draw. I think I got the infection because I forgot to clean out my drawing pin with alcohol like I normally do. My girl got me some (spelling) eurythomiasin and i was good in 7 days.

    prevention= dont use the site more than twice a week, only use small volume injections,1ml and 2ml per muscle area, alternate injection sites for every injection,
    symptoms are normaly pain or burning at the site or hard lump, try cleaning the injection site and inserting the needle far enough into the muscle,,,and clean gear cant beat it

    Why the hell are you reusing a syringe?They're too cheap to take a risk!That's just foolish IMO.
