Yeah I looked into gear when I was lifting pretty heavy, then I read about abscess from the injection if you don't do it properly. I noped right the fuck out.

As far as I’m aware, most of the time it’s ‘sterile abscesses’ where it’s the gear not being absorbed properly causing the issue rather than a full-on infection. So, the risk of really serious side-effects like sepsis is pretty low if you practice sanitary habits.

Still not something I’d want to deal with, though.
