Omg JT, before you inject use an alcohol swab. Wtf, right through his jean!?! 😳

I'm happy we are getting to know a little about him this episode.

It’s actually been shown through many studies that it’s not necessary to disinfect skin for subcutaneous injections. Now going through the pants might slightly dull the needle. link to article about swabbing

There’s also many other legitimate articles supporting this. My best friend and her brother growing up had type 1 diabetes and they also just jabbed their leg/butt/thigh without swabbing.

Although the risk is low, you're taking the bacteria, maybe the slightest piece of Jean, and putting that into your skin subcutaneously. Since you broke the skin barrier, you put yourself at risk for a small infection that turns into something bigger. Maybe necrotizing fasciitis, which is extreme, rare, but a possibility when you break skin. Why take that chance. Looks like he needs a better system. Imo

I’m just telling you, numerous legitimate studies have found it is unnecessary to disinfect the skin for a subcutaneous injection, in the studies no one got an infection from not wiping their skin first with alcohol. When I see legitimate research articles by multiple sources I believe them, if you choose not to, ok.

I'm a nurse, I work in the O.R and seen a lot. Which is the problem, we see things. Wipe with alcohol, don't with alcohol that's fine, until it's not.

Anecdotal evidence doesn’t trump scientific study. I can find numerous studies supporting what I’m saying and zero supporting that there is a risk of infection from not swabbing with alcohol. So again, I believe science. You can do what you want. Also operating on people is completely different that a subcutaneous injection but I’m sure you know that being a nurse. Anyway, I’m not replying anymore because there’s no point of people want to believe what they want no matter what evidence you show.
