- chlorhex — a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it 15:23
- chlorhex — i inject the back of my own arm and it is awkward but doable with a mirror, not advice obviously 15:58
- hair_month_four — if you are getting a lot of bruising, look at how fast you are pushing before you blame the needle 17:14
