I have no rubbing alcohol

I was thinking of just taking a shower and then injectng and after putting some neosporin and a band aid on it then messaging it. Would that be ok?

are you kidding? Just go to the local Pharmacy and buy a box of little ind cotton pads w/ alcohol already on them, they are made just for cleaning site inj. It's like 2-3 buck for a box of 100.

Why risk an infection

Yeah buy alch. pads bro. Taking a shower is not going to clean sufficiently. See when you inject your taking bacteria from the surface of your skin and pile driving it into your body, I wouldn't risk it. Alcohol will sterilize the site to a good degree.

i got a bottle of alcohol from the store for 79 cents and some sterile cotton balls for 99 cents this reminds me of the earlier post of someone using the same syringe for each injection. seems to cheap and painless for the risk of getting an infection.

The MTV special "True life: I'm on steroids" shows a guy doing that.. he didn't drop it but he wiped it w/ alc. and injected some other guy. ...Things that make you go "
