Two severe anaphylactic reactions in July of last year:

Two People Almost Died at RAADfest. We Went to the Experts.

Two people nearly died, and several more sought treatment, after receiving peptide injections at the last RAADfest in Las Vegas.

I do not know if those injections were by IM or subq, and we don't know which peptides (or combinations) were used with the two women.

A table by Gemini that includes the peptides mentioned in the article--"BPC-157, tymosine beta 4 (TB-4), and tymosine alpha 1 (Tα1)"--along with other peptides for comparison:

Regarding subq vs IM for gluta, MOTS-c, and GHK-Cu:

After a "virtual friend" of mine (who used to be very active here) recently had throat swelling after injecting MOTS-c by IM (with no history of such allergic reactions), I am distancing myself from the "community" (including GB groups) and from buying most non-GLP peptides.

Taking a baby dose whenever starting a new kit can mitigate some risk factors, but with IM, there is always a risk of the injection going into a vessel.

For epinephrine options, the Neffy spray seems more likely to be used before symptoms get worse.
Calm your always so knowledgeable! I try to never miss one of your post/responses. Thank you <3
 
Some notes for those that are prone to worry. You can have a reaction to any medication (or food, for that matter). Even OTC meds or meds that are prescribed by a doctor and dispensed by a pharmacists. Even meds that you have taken many times before without issue. I'd definitely take extra precautions if you have a tendency to be allergic to a lot of things and the first time you try a new treatment.

Yes, people should be getting a PAIR of these for $35!
 
There is also a sublingual formulation of epinephrine that maybe released later this year. It has been shown to be as effective as IM injection. As an allergist I always recommend the Auvi-Q as there is talking instructions in case the patient is unable to respond as well as a much shorter injection time (less likely to be yanked out before the medicine is fully administered).
 
New post at Reddit, with 1 mg (or so) of MOTS-c causing some degree of throat closing (no mention yet if IM or subq):

Another case of you don't know what you don't know.
 
Maybe someone else has suggested this, but with any of these injectables it seems sensible to give yourself a micro-injection the day before you start your full cycle.
 
My guess is the the recent Reddit MOTS-c case was by IM or maybe deep subq, but they didn't state one way or the other. But there have been systemic reactions to CJC/ipa by subq.

In the phase 1 clinical trial of MOTS-c, the subq ISRs were one reason they didn't go forward, but they were doing a whopping 25 mg per day. But "no serious adverse events" from subq injections (pharma grade, not grey). It was a very small study (N=11).
