Gave my friend homebrew gear, possible infection.

[Sulixe]

Im using the same gear as what i gave him and been fine.


He pinned his shoulder with my homemade test prop 110mg/ml, and 4 days after the whole area is red and very hard to the touch, the redness even goes down the shoulder to a part of his arm. he says it hurts a little but he can workout no prob and overall feels great. He's pinned his other shoulder and it was fine.


How do you make the difference between an infection and inflamation?

I heated the gear so that no crystals remain, the oil was clear as crystal before even filtering.

I used a 0.22 UC syringue filter

Then i heated the vial 225F for 30 mins.

2% BA was in the mix.

He shouldn't have got an infection from all my sterilizing procedures...

Is this just typical "prop pain reaction"?

Im kinda worried :S

[bjpennnn]

he have a fever or anything? what type of oil did you use sometimes people have allergies to oils say you used peanut oil or something ya know.

[Dragon666]

Tell him to jump on antibiotics asap if your in-doubt.

Sounds like a reaction, maybe to the BA. Some gear does that to me as well, looks like a red patch that's warm and hard to the touch. I thought it was an infection at first, I tried to pull fluid out with a syringe and took a course of anti biotics but I learned it was just the gear.
Happened every inj for 12 wks, shitty.

[slimshady01]

do you guys go to the doc for anti biotics or you order them online and have onhand.

[dirtybrd]

Sounds like prop pain. I always got hot knots after pinning prop

I get mine on amazon usually.
Fish Doxy (Pharm grade doxycycline)
Fish Mox (Ammoxicillian)
Fish Flex (Cephalexin)

I was surprised to find when I opened them that they were US Pharm grade pills, not home packed knock offs.

sounds just like how I react to prop when shot in delts

except its like that in both delts for me...

Wow dude, really? This is great info... can you rate the effectiveness of 'fish antiboitcs' compared to the penicillin based antibiotics you get from the doc?

[Pac Man]

It's the same thing in a different package. Caps themselves are stamped.
BTW I meant Aqua doxy, has a cheap black and white label.
My aqua doxy says 'west-ward 3142' on the caps you can look them up online:

I've had that before from Iran Test Enan.

Doc gave me some anti-biotics but I didnt use them, it cleared itself.

Dude, you don't know nearly enough about brewing to be using others as guinea-pigs.
