    You should be o.k. since you washed the area before injecting. Did you wipe down the area after with alcohol?

    I never used an alcohol wipe before injecting. I always just inject after my morning shower.

    Relax never been infected, use a swab rarely if I havent showered.Injected around 300 times,hgh and test prop.If you have any hygiene, wash your hands,use a clean new needle and use common sense.You will never have an issue

    Yeah just dont ever do it again, sometime antibiotics will not stop a MRSA infection. If you dont know what that is look it up and it will scare the hell out of you.. SO dont listen to these guys that say its now big deal. F^cken wipe every time if you can.

    I dont think anyone said not to wipe down.
    Muscle science
    Are there not studies that say soap and hot water kills more bacteria than an alcohol wipe?

    As far as MRSA goes my brother caught it last year and he is clinical with his injections.So sometimes you just get f*cked.You are correct it is bad he has scars from the boils on his back that look like bullet holes!
