the gear left after i pin.

I was noticing there was a little gear left in the syringe after each injection so i started putting it into a vile to see how much was left after my cycle. Its added up to a pretty good amount, ok so my question is. Is that not sterile? Or unsafe? If i wanted to use it would it be a bad idea?

it should be ok but u could pin it subq just to be safe - any irritation or infection wld be just under skin instead of IM.

in the future - take a little air into ur pin, then tap it to just under plunger. use that air to push the last of the gear in, leaving u with nothing but air in pin - viola

O ok and thanks for you feedback, i thought it was best to have no air in there, if u were to accidentally inject some of the air could that hurt u?

ur thinking of an embolism which is deadly but that is when injecting IV (intravenously) + u wld need to inj like <1cc of air.
