made a boo boo

[69camaro...]

I had a bottle of cyp that i was splitting up for my brother into a smaller vial. I cleaned both rubbers with alcohol. I uncapped my 18 gauge and it fell on my desk by accident. I didn't feel like opening a new 18g, so i dipped the tip of the needle in alcohol because im weary when it comes to infections. I pulled just a tad of alcohol into the needle and squirted it out to be safe. Well when i went to pull the cyp out to split, when i squirted it into the other bottle i guess there was a little alcohol still in the needle and now the cyp looks foggy as crap. Is this okay? It looks milky/foggy. How can i get it to look like straight oil again

Foggy is never good

The bottle of Cyp i pulled it from wasn't foggy though, it was the other bottle i squirted it into that got the alcohol in it. Maybe that would clear some confusion up.

Some others might know better, I dont want to speak out of tongue.

I know it might make the injections a little more painful, but i didn't realize just a drop of alcohol would effect the bottle. Hmmmm

Any amount of water (or isopropyl-alcohol in this case) will cause oil to go foggy.
It was a minute amount, so it shouldn't make the injections more painful.
You're fine. And in the future, don't put rubbing alcohol in your syringes or anything.

[69camaro...]

thinking about it, wouldn't the alcohol separate from the oil? Maybe warming it?

so it will always stay foggy? I truly don't know why i did such a thing, but thanks for the help

No. Water might eventually, but not alcohol.
You could open the vials and bake them for a few minutes, but with your track record so far, you'd likely spill your vials or contaminate them.
Just try a shot. If it doesn't sting, leave it alone.

lol you can't say you've never made a mistake once

. I didn't feel like opening a new 18g, im weary when it comes to infections..

Not that weary or you would have opened a new needle

live and learn

I am sure your alcohol has some water in it...I doubt its 100% pure..and you need to throw away the alcohol bottle cause once you put the needle in there to kill germs you contaminated the whole bottle..

lol,, dude its rubbing alcohol,, nothing is going to contaminate it

[SufferToReturnHarder]

Your fine. Don't worry about it.

[gearbox]

The bottle is contaminated yes. A great deal no. Is he fine yes. Just helping so ppl understand. One of the first things taught in nursing school.

[69camaro...]

Just to see if the alcohol would evaporate, i applied heat to the bottle in some hot water on stove. The oil turns clear, then after it cools down it gets foggy again. So its either its not evaporating all the way out and there's still some left, or the gear is very potent

[gearbox]

I would say your fine. I was just letting you know about contamination for future reference

Thanks for the heads up
