What happened to my thread??!
I appologise then. It seems like reckless advice to me but I'll look into it more. I guess it's harmless if you draw back but a lot don't.
Not only have I read that it is a common practice, but I always get an air bubble out of my body when I aspirate...and then put it back, plus a tiny bit more when I inject. I have done hundreds of injections this way.
Still, don't do it if you aren't comfortable with the idea.
Do you not know what a vacuum is? I hope you're being sarcastic. It is impossible to draw an air bubble out of your muscle, there is no way. When you draw back, it creates a vacuum in the syringe, and while it may look like air, I assure you there is no air in the syringe. SMH.

I always leave an air bubble, gear is expensive....no wasting!!Originally Posted by DGHGM
A little air fine...Just make sure you pull the plunger back prior to injecting. In all my years I've only hit a vein 2x and pulled blood into the syringe. I just moved over a cm and was good to go. I would hate to have hit 3cc's into a vein like that. :0
I put some prop into a vein once. Got lazy and didn't draw back. It was quite a scary and unpleasant experience for a short time then all good. Got the cold sweats, bit of kidney pain and felt really uneasy. It came on really fast and just when I thought "shit, this is about to get real bad" it started to subside. Drank a heap of water and was at work on time like nothing had happened. Needless to say I always draw back now.
