    How do you know if gear is sterile?

    I heard on the news today (again) that the prescriptions that Americans are getting from China are not as "clean" as the ones here that are regulated by the FDA.

    With that said, I ordered some 5ml sachets of test e and I was wondering if anyone has ever taken the time to have their gear (specifically sachets) tested at a lab to see what exactly we are injecting in us??? You would like to think that it is good gear, however, is this just a chance we take? I know my test has a very high BA content because I have to dilute it in sterile grapeseed oil just to inject without getting sore.

    I guess I just got a little freaked out, I don't want to fall over from a heart attack or something because the country where my sachets are from have no standards in making gear.

    Any links to actual data would be useful...thanks!

    just filter it if you worried. if it has high ba, the ba kills everything.

    I guess what I am trying to ask here is, how do you know if your gear is safe? Not just sterile, but safe! For instance, was the chemist mixing my gear sneezing over top of it or maybe he just wiped his ass and didn't wash his hands, you know what I mean? Was it even a chemist who mixed it or some 10 year old forced in to labor??? I don't think a filter will help in these unsanitary conditions.

    I might be freaking out a little but how do you know? I would like to be able to have mine "tested", maybe not everytime but every now and then. And I would also like to see how close the doses are compared to what they claim to be, although I am more concerned about the sanitary thing.

    Ya heat and a filter work in the labs and in your house. someone sneezing in your gear is worring about its sterility. Last lab to test got busted. If you get your gear from a good source then no worries. Legit labs dont make them in kitchens or bathtubs. If you worry, pony out the extra cash and go Human Grade Gear.

    My gear comes from a reliable source, but they are sachets so I know he is not making them (at least I wouldn't think so???). He is reputable but you never know.

    I only wish I could get human grade test. I did have it prescribed before by my endo but it wasn't enough for a cycle. It was very good stuff though! But even Human Grade gear would still concern me, even if it was made here in the US.

    Like I said, I am probably just freakin' out a bit but it was a little alarming our wonderful media discuss this on the news.

    yeah, if you're saying that even human grade gear concerns you then you are a paranoid dude and should filter your gear just to make yourself feel better.

    Wow. I would of hoped you would have thought this thru b4 ordering the "s.....s", Just filter and add some ba I would think that would set yer mind at ease. Just spend some time googling the Lab forum. I all most was gonna go that route. Human grade next time if you can find it...

    from personal experience ( if you will take my advice to heart ) do your research and dont inject anything you'd even have to question. I ended up in the hospital for a week with a serious infection in my quad due to questionable gear. Filter it if your worried and check the label before you add ANY BA because if it already has some your just making injections more painful... anyway... just my .02
