The mechanical side: mixing a vial, choosing equipment, the injection procedure itself, and how to tell an ordinary bruise from something that needs a doctor. Written for people who have already decided, and read in order if you are starting from nothing.
Why this section exists
Describing a procedure is not recommending it. People who have decided to inject something will do so whether or not there is an accurate account of sterile technique available to them, and the difference between good technique and improvised technique is measured in abscesses. Nothing here argues that anyone should take any of the compounds this site covers, and most of them are not approved for human use anywhere.
Educational content only. Nothing here is medical advice, and most compounds discussed are not approved for human use. Talk to a clinician before acting on anything you read. Full disclaimer.
Telling an ordinary bruise from cellulitis, an abscess or an allergic reaction, and knowing which of them cannot wait.
Covers
•What is normal after an injection
