No UGL can be "sure it's sterile" unless you are a big budget operation with some serious know-how.

Curious if anyone thinks otherwise or if this is one of those calculated risks we all accept?

I'm just hoping that the exposure to bacteria/germs will strengthen my immune system. :32 (20):

I’m almost done my first bottle of slin. I have used the same pin for the entire bottle.

Im sure the UGLs I use have much higher standards than my own. That’s sufficient for me.

I wash my hands according to the CDC protocols, are my hands sterile? At what point do they not remain sterile? seconds, minutes, the next day?

That's why I keep a package of whatman syringe filters lying around... First pin with new stuff always 1 ml only. See how the body reacts. If it's dirty, you will know quickly and then filter it so you can pin it safely.

There is always a risk, even with pharma grade. The risk is larger with a UGL and we all seem to accept that risk. Not sure any of us can calculate the relative risk with any accuracy or reliability. You pay your money and you take your chances.

I agree. It is unlikely that an underground lab is going to be sterile. Maybe some are.

Sanitary and safe enough to avoid infection, sure. The practical data proves that. But there will always be a risk.

Definitely a risk, one that most on this board find worth taking.

He's in Japan. Availability of slin pins...
Really? The pins part, I knew he was in Japan.

Yesterday the pharmacist tells me I’m lucky they’ll even sell me needles, in NY they’re a controlled substance. ****in needles....

One of my brothers is a chemist, the other is a chemical engineer......Both would say Lab all day no matter what the UGL had (aside a lab)

its a risk we all take. There are risks in everything. Some restaurants kitchens we love to eat in we take a risk.

Is it possible to bake what you get to sterilize it ?
