The thread establishes that filtered tap water introduces bacterial and pyrogen risks, prompting repeated harm reduction calls to discard the vial entirely. Off-topic banter on firearms, parenting, and unrelated peptide dosing for weight loss and sleep dominates, while storage practices for reconstitution water are debated with conflicting refrigeration advice. Skepticism about the original incident persists amid jokes and meta comments, and the discussion drifts into sourcing and results without any OP update.
What this discussion establishesWhether refrigeration is required for storing reconstitution water
Still openThe core safety question from the original incident
Nothing here is advice.
Folks, quick version of a messy situation. An empty vial meant for BAC water ended up filled with filtered tap water instead, and my sister used that by accident to reconstitute a brand new 1000 mg NAD bottle. Any way to salvage it or is the whole thing ruined?
How exactly does filtered tap water get stored in a vial and then mixed up with actual BAC water? You're basically adding gram negative bacteria and endotoxins that a 0.22 um filter won't catch.
How fast will the 1000 mg get used up? I'd pitch it fast. I'd also never add tap water or similar into one of those hospital-style vials.
I'd go ahead and use it while watching for any negative effects, but that's my own risk level and I wouldn't tell anyone else to do the same.
No advice here, but I'm really wondering how the mix-up occurred in the first place.
Since everyone keeps asking, here's what went down. My kid took a liking to the 60 ml glass bottle for playing potions, grabbed the empty one, filled it with water, and left it out. My visiting sister didn't know the household details and grabbed it by mistake. All of this happened inside about fifteen minutes.
Just throw the NAD away. Filtered tap water isn't safe for injections and can carry bacteria among other issues.
Don't take my word for it. Look up what happens when plain water gets injected. Seriously don't do it.
It comes down to how much risk you're willing to accept. Using it probably isn't smart. That said, if you're not in a heavily polluted area, plenty of people have injected worse than tap water and survived. I've seen folks use green Gatorade for coke and even puddle water for heroin after boiling it, though some of those didn't make it. I got lucky with strong resistance and high tolerance, but someone wiser pointed out it's mostly pain and worse down that path. I just learned to label vials right away. It's only one vial and there are more available, so choose carefully.
Sounds like just one from a kit, maybe fifteen bucks worth. I'd toss it and be glad to avoid any potential problems.
Before injecting anything, the household chaos needs sorting or the supplies need isolating. The kind of mix-up described works for crafts or non-water products but not when dealing with sterile mixing or self-medicating. Processes are required to avoid turning harmless mess into real danger. Also, with both a kid and a sister involved, pitch the vial immediately rather than weighing personal risk tolerance since others could be affected too.
Hard to believe this is even up for debate. Harm reduction should be the priority in this space and this isn't it.
Tap water contains lots of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, not just occasional ones, so filtering doesn't make it safe for injection.
So a tap water protocol will be coming soon? I'll keep an eye out.
This discussion ranks as pretty disturbing. It's not just the idea that somebody might want to try that substance, but hearing a person claim they'd actually inject it because it matches their acceptable level of danger. Like there's any real uncertainty on the right move.
Reminder to myself that used vials and similar should be disposed of properly right away.
And when unsure, just throw it out.
OP, don't inject it. Everyone else, don't inject anything similar either. Risk tolerance is one thing, plain risky behavior is another. Treat this as a cheap lesson.
Just adding this, and wow.
That's a really solid point. I hadn't considered it before but would toss it for that reason alone.
Had to rewrite my comment four times. SMH
I kind of like threads like this because they help shape thinking and show what we don't know. Hopefully it educates some people. Remember the needle safety thread? Painful but probably useful.
Please don't inject that into your body. I have a family too so I get it, but keep this stuff completely separate from kids. The process needs to stay clean and accidents can't be afforded with your body. It's already risky enough with peptides from certain sources, so at least handle cleanliness and sanitizing properly. Children shouldn't be involved in any way or you risk sepsis.
I get the appeal of these threads but tap water? That's like the warning labels on curling irons saying not to use in the bathtub. Maybe I'm just old.
If your daughter likes playing with the empty bottles, mark them with a sharpie or sticker so they're different from yours. Maybe also store everything away properly to keep it sterile. I really wouldn't risk that vial. Since you got a kit there are others, and it's not worth the chance.
Maybe still not a solid plan.
Added to my watch list. Don't leave us hanging, what did she decide to do?
Can we get an update? I'm very curious what happened.
Injecting even filtered tap water is one of the most dangerous things you can do in this area. Don't do it.
I work in home infusion therapy. Trust me, things like cellulitis, endocarditis, or sepsis from non-sterile injections are painful and expensive. Toss it.
It's incredible how irresponsible everyone seems to be acting. I wonder how a child managed to find those needles lying around.
None of this adds up. Was the kid using syringes to inject water, or was the vial opened in a way that should have made it obvious not to use? Then the sister comes by and mixes peptides? How is any of that normal? It seems like so many layers of nonsense that the whole story feels off. If true, gray peptides probably aren't suitable for this household at all.
I don’t know enough, but some of these issues might not show up right away or as a local reaction. You could find out later in a bad way.
Throw it in the garbage. You could end up hospitalized with sepsis and you don't want that.
Many clients I've seen used toilet water or stagnant water from discarded bottles for fixes. Some are still around, some aren't. Those who survived all ended up with MRSA, sepsis, or other internal rotting issues over twenty-five years. Many don't even bother boiling or filtering anymore. You're not even supposed to rinse sinuses with tap water. My risk tolerance is medium but some things aren't negotiable. Toss it.
I believe it. Twenty bucks says she's a millennial, they eat Tide pods too.
Sepsis is especially dangerous. The required antibiotics are very expensive to infuse. Hallucinations are one sign of severe cases. If caught too late you're dead, and most don't survive it twice.
This has to be a shit post because the intelligence level is troll-level unbelievable.
At twenty seven I came down with blood poisoning that had no identifiable trigger and produced zero signs. The only reason I checked into care was a general sense that something felt wrong without any way to describe it. Zero out of ten never again.
Sure, discard the whole thing and restart fresh. I treated the slip as something gained from trying, kept going cheerfully, and figured it would not repeat, except after drinking too much when it gets overlooked.
This story doesn't add up at all. My skepticism is through the roof. Are you saying the child somehow got hold of a needle and put purified water from the tap into an unused container of that solution by chance? Should that actually have happened, the child poses a real risk. What reason is there for that solution to come in larger sixty milliliter containers when smaller ones like three, five, ten, or thirty are standard? And how come the sibling would just mix up those substances over at your place without any instructions or inquiries.
My feeling is that everything ought to turn out fine.
I'd get rid of the whole thing without hesitation. Rinsing my sinuses using water from the faucet after filtering never struck me as a good move.
Why all these inquiries? Maybe my genuineness is what's irritating you?
I got a complete home water cleaning setup in the pipes. That's the reason I'm even thinking about this option. With regular faucet water there wouldn't be any discussion since it'd go straight to trash. Anyone raising children realizes they enjoy crafting magical mixtures from all sorts of things. I keep my peptide collection and tools hidden away. This is a serious inquiry folks. Sorry if I upset somebody. Damn some of you must be really bored. For those wondering she got some benzoyl alcohol and made it into a nose spray.
The whole thing seems to grow crazier by the minute. I back the point made by that other user here. Fixed an error in typing.
That compound doesn't cost much so I'd just discard the whole thing without a second thought. Everyone realizes tap water starts as treated sewage moving through ancient plumbing lines. Not taking any chances here especially with this one.
I'm still unsure how everything concluded... did they just toss out that small bottle? It'd be funny to share a story like this on a big discussion site, only kidding of course.
Missed spotting that thread earlier before dropping my own comment. Still a massive no thanks from me on the whole idea. Been pumping that imported garbage straight into my veins for a while now. Yo jerk been ages since we crossed paths!!!! 🫡😘🤌
