    Syringe blew off needle, absorption of spill through skin?

    So I was doing my injection, and I got careless, and pushed the syringe back in pretty quickly into the vial when i was loading my syringe. This caused the syringe to come off the needle and the needle was left stuck in the vial. About 50 mg of test spilled onto my hands. What kind of absorption do you think I got ??? Still going to inject my normal 50 mg. Just was curious what/if any extra I was getting. Am more mad at the fact that I lost 50 mg , but it's all good getting a 5 ml vial each month

    Got any cuts? Maybe you could put some there and see if you heal faster?

    You got 0% absorption through your skin unless somehow, in a weird situation, you had an open wound and let it just soak into your bloodstream... I can't imagine that's the case though.

    Oh okay. I thought maybe I absorbed a tiny bit, kind of like a gel/cream application, but guess it isn't like that...

    gels/creams require what is known as a transdermal carrier to make them 10% effective. without this, really no chance at all of absorbtion.

    also, it's important to remember that there is a huge difference between transdermals and injections: the injections have a modified form (esterified) of testosterone that allows it to slowly release, whereas the transdermals are just "straight" testosterone.

    this ester would prevent the testosterone from being able to permeate the skin.
