Allergic reactions!!!

[shootdeep]

You can have a generalized upregulation of innate immunity in response to anything your body isn't used to seeing. It is NOT an immune response specific for the hormone. The localized tissue damage is where cytokines/chemokines will be concentrated, but they will also be dispersed all over. It's just technical semantics, but the reaction is not an "allergic" reaction, which is an adaptive immune response to a particular compound....this isn't what occurs in these cases.

good then, whenever a member asks about "allergic reactions" of any kind, i'll try to refer him to you for the scientific explanation.

Way to take the high road

I probably went overboard with technicalities, but take a look at the news lately. Misinformation is the reason AAS users are ostracized and criminalized. Maybe the original poster doesn't care for an explanation, but hopefully it will keep others from using terminology that isn't technically accurate and someone can take something from it.
