Is EO harmful if your allergic

[musclehead123]

by allergic I mean swells and hurts for a week. Mainly the inflammation has me wondering about if its harmful to the injected muscle and the development of that particular muscle (injections rotated), and in general health(can other allergies or weaken immune system stem from using EO)

.... duh...

Let's see if you're allergic then you may go into anaphylactic shock and die :)
While not likely, it happens, and repeated exposure to shit you are allergic to generally makes things worse. It also often causes allergies to other substances.

Nothing like having your throat close up on you and not being able to breathe. Got an epi pin handy?

A sore injection is NOT a signal to you that you have an allergy. Sore throat, headache, fever, stuffiness... You will generally have a histamine reaction with this stuff if you are allergic. If you take a couple of anti-histamine tablets from the drug store and your symptoms magically go away it's a pretty sure thing that you are allergic to something.

Yes you will also have localized swelling and inflamation BUT there are lots of reasons for that to occur and only one of them is allergy.

He brings up a good point about the pain and swelling factor though. I've had a bad reaction from something new I was trying, and it caused pretty severe pain and swelling. I've been wondering if that's something that can cause damage, such as increased scar tissue, etc.

Needless to say, if it hurts and causes massive pain and swelling, I'm not using it.

when i used EO i had minimal sorness the 2nd day, but by day 3 i couldnt feel a thing

ive had bad glute shots which were SORE lumps for like 7-10 days, then slowly dissapated

just pin in another place and see what happens :)

At one point i thought i was allergic to EO because of pain, fever, swelling, etc. But it was from high mg/ml gear which my body simply rejected due to the ba/bb i suspect. I tried every site and smaller more frequent shots and i still was very ill. Switched to a low mg.ml and nothing to worry about now. What im saying is a lot of time you think its an EO allergy when it could be something else like the ba/bb levels or some other factor.

You should get more actual "allergy" symptoms. You're just using shitty gear. There's a difference.

I used good gear but because of the volume of EO, it began irritating my body to the point where I'd get raised bumps and lines, puffy itchy eyes and a runny nose after pinning. If you scratched anywhere on my body, I presume the mast cells would go crazy because I'd immediately get raised bumps EVERYWHERE!!

It's hard to find good gear that doesn't use EO or just uses a smaller amount, but it's out there. EO + high amounts of BA can be highly irritating. It's not much of a risk until you run into the rare instance where anaphylactic shock sets in. It could be a pseudo-reaction that's not life threatening or full out or "true" anaphylaxsis where you're basically ****ed unless you get to an ER. Be careful. Could be a 1 in a million chance, but it'd be a very shitty way to die with needle in your hand and pants around your ankles.

so if somebody was to shoot, sterile EO (no hormone) with proper injection techinque and they still have the same pain. What would be the verdict?

Same shit, different pile. EO on it's own isn't too bad for most. But when you factor in things like BA, you've got a problem. Steroids with short esters also tend to be more painful as well.

steroids will kill you.
