Question about gear and bacteria

[Pac Man]

There seems to be allot of threads about guys getting infections lately, what are the main causes of infected gear and what could lead to gear becoming contaminated?
Also are some AAS more likely to become contaminated or grow bacteria over others?
Is heat a factor or is it just the way they're brewed?

Running through hypothetical situations:
You use half a bottle of "your choice here" than store the rest of it in a plastic container for your next cycle in 6 months, could the storage causes it to become contaminated?

Just really interested in finding out why people are getting infections.

Storing the gear is ok. The main culprit in infections is lack of sterilization amongst users, IMO.

higher BA Levels help.
Unclean and Unprofessional UG Labs
users sticking dirty pins in their vial
users not wiping everything down first

are you storing sealed vials or raw mixed gear, or powder? If its partially used vials your good as long as their not infected when put up. Darkness is better than light

The vast majority of the people that have been posting lately are not getting infections. They are getting an injection site reaction. When and oil based depot is used like in the case of AAS. The oil is dissipated leaving the AAS to precipitate out of solution and stay in the muscle slowly being absorbed through the capillary networks in the immediate area of the injection site.

This can be painful for people because basically there is crystalized testosterone or whatever the compound is sitting in the muscle belly. An immune reaction is elicited cause pain, tenderness and heat in some people.

Exactly. Its a lot harder to get an infection than one thinks. Youd almost have to be trying to get an infection, the body is good at protecting itself against that sort of thing anyhow.

i have seen two about abcesses recently


but if gear is a gool level of BA, filtered correctly, and every time you shoot you wipe it all down and use a fresh needle and clean skin nothing bad will happen
