Recently an experiment was conducted in local Seattle health clubs to test for presence of bacteria and all tested high for the presence of staph a bacteria throughout the clubs.

I guess I was wondering how much of this increase might be related to injecting, must be some influence in all of this. Maybe steroid use is more prevalent than some admit/know.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Guess I'm going to be more aware of how close I inject and go workout. Sometimes I head straight for the club immediately after poking, not much time to heal over site. What bothers me about some guys they sweat like pigs and never wipe down after they're done, just walk away.
