I was doing my second to last injection today and accidentally injected a black dot I had been trying to avoid for the last couple of weeks.
It's test c, How worried should I be about this?
How long will I go before noticing infection symptoms?
Thanks
Why didn't you just filter it instead of going around some black spec in your gear?
I swear you are the first to every question I ask on here. And to be honest- I don't know what filtering is. I buy it in the vial already and heat it to get the crystals out of it (if necessary)
Well, chances are if it would have tainted your gear, you would have been infected by now. But keep a close eye on the injection site for any issues.Quote:

Was it a piece of rubber from the top? What color is the top?
What gauge needle are you using? If you changed to a smaller needle to pin with you may have gotten lucky and the speck is still in the syringe.
All you can do is wait and see now. You didnt notice you pulled it up in the syringe?Quote:

I wouldn't inject from a vial that had something floating in it in the first place. It's not worth your health bro.
Thank you guys for your insight! I draw with an 18 and inject with a 25. I'm starting to think it may have been a piece if rubber from the top.
Yeah, it was a piece of rubber from the stopper. Do not use that large of a pin to draw. You will most likely be fine. In 10 years or so it will hopefully move to the surface and you can pop it out like a pimple. Or it will just sit in your tissue for the rest of your life if it is encapsulated. It's not dangerous just watch out for infection, I don't think that will be a problem though. Your gear that you have now isn't safe and I would worry more about that.
The human body is amazing and will either absorb it, push it out over time or not give a damn a bout it. Time will tell.
I pulled some teeth out 8 years ago and some small fragments was left in my gums, they came out about 3 months ago :)
the black speck is almost positively part of the rubber stopper. when you use an 18 to draw that happens. i usually fill bottles with an 18 since its only stabbing the stopper once. but then i order 20g drawing needles, and inject with 22-25g depending on the syringe size. and secondly... if there are crystals in your gear, it is crashing... whoever made it didnt add enough solvent (usually ba or bb) and it is falling out of solution and crystalizing. even if you melt the crystals, when you inject it you may get site pain due to the crystals reforming in the oil you injected into your muscle. crystals in the muscle = pain. if you injected a piece of sterile stopper into your muscle chances are youre still sterile, and an infection will not occur. you should know within two or three days tops. its not somthing you would be wondering about. when you get an infection youll get feverish painful swelling of injection site and surrounding areas, wont be able to sleep/walk/stand/sit. its pretty rough.
best of luck
