Causes of Infections/Absses...?

[ecto9]

Guys, Please tell me what are all the things that can cause one to get an infection/absses from injecting gear, Thanks...

The first cause I think is bad gear ( unsterile or unfiltered ), second would be bad injection method

I heard. dont know if it is good info or not maybe someone else can comment. That if you massage thoroughly the injection site you will not get any kind of bump.

As far as infection goes my brother, unsterile conditions. Before you inject make sure EVERYTHING is clean around you do not work in an unsterile enviornment and make sure you wash your hands and I personally like to use antibacterial soap after washing too.. Make sure your pins are all sterile and the injection site is sterilized. Dont know if there is anything more important than sterility.

always wait about 7 days before shooting the same spot to help prevent oil abcess to prevent infection be perfectly clean about how you draw and inject dont even breath on the needle before you stick it in you.clean is safe.sloppy dirtycareless=infection

So we can all apply sterile protocol. The thing that scares me the most is doing everything right on my part and still having problems.

Is it very common or not to have gear that is not sterile, provided we get it from a reputable company? I would imagine we have a certain amount of trust in these ugl's. I guess human grade would be the best option...?
