WHO is running OP??? looking to re up on some goodies

Been using RUI for all of my Lab rats for at least 2-3 years. Just put in a nice order today. I pay for the rush order thing, I could be patient ;-)
 
This is completely unnecessary. The needle your using should be sterile in a sealed oval and you should be swabbing the top of your vial. Not to mention you can get a piece of the swab stuck on the needle and not see it and inject cotton into your body, not that there's any real danger that I'm aware of from that but this method is not needed. This pip some of us are/were experiencing had nothing to do with technique(at least I know it didn't for me)

From having a bunch of druggie friends, and I'm not speaking about anabolic steroids, I'm talking injecting other drugs that should not be injected. Anyway my responding here is this, concerning swabbing the needle and maybe getting a peice of cotton stuck on the needle, that is some bad news right there buddy. I tell ya that can cause something called cotton fever and it literally feels like you are dying. I understand that test injections are intramuscular but nonetheless sometimes you still knick a vein in you leg or delt or wherever you may be injecting. There are some pro's here who have pinned more times than they could stand to count, as well as myself but I sometimes clip a vein when I am aspirating and have to pull out and relocate because, screw that. I've never fully injected into a vein and I don't ever plan on it but I've heard horror stories. I also use the slow method, and it slides in like butter, easy peezy!

Beware of swabbing your needle though I never have heard of anyone doing this unless the needles were already used, in which case I would trash it and use a new pin. Some reuse and have methods of cleaning them but I think that is dangerous, an unnecessary risk as far as I am concerned. I don't actually know if anyone ever has died from cotton fever but, I don't want to find out for myself and I am sure none of you guys do either so, just a heads up.

Before someone hops on my ass for this being an old thread, yes I am fully aware of that. I was just scanning through the threads and found this, was reading and felt the need to help someone out if they are new to this and maybe by some chance tried swabbing what they should not be swabbing. If I can save someone some trouble I don't mind taking a minute to do so!
