Hey everyone.

To make a long absurd story brief: a vial of BAC water had been swapped out for tap water (which is filtered very carefully), and my sister ended up using that by mistake in a brand-new bottle of NAD 1000mg.

Can this be salvaged somehow, is she able to just carry on with it, or does the whole thing need to be thrown out?

Much love
 
How would someone filter tap water by accident and then keep it around?

And after that, mix it up with vials of BAC water?

What you are doing is almost certainly adding gram negative bacteria and endotoxins, or whatever 0.22 um is unable to filter out.

What’s the timeframe for going through 1000mg?

I’d toss it out right away. And I’d never fill a Hospira bottle with tap water or any similar liquid.
 
I'd go ahead with it and keep an eye out for any negative reactions, though that's because I'm willing to take the chance. I wouldn't tell you to do the same — it has to be your own call.
 
I’m not here to give any guidance, but I really want to know how this could occur? I mean, what led to filtered tap water being confused with BAC water?
 
Alright, since everybody wants to know — and honestly I would too, ha ha — here's what went down: my daughter took a shine to the 60ml glass bottle for her little potion projects, so she grabbed the empty one and topped it off with water, then just left it sitting there on the counter. My sister, who was only over for a visit and has no idea how things work around our house, grabbed it without realizing and went ahead with it. The whole thing happened inside of 15 minutes.
 
The NAD should absolutely be thrown away.

Putting it gently, water from a filtered tap isn't regarded as safe to inject. Bacteria could be present, among other concerns.

How much risk you're willing to take will decide this one. Using it probably isn't the smartest move. That said, unless your home sits on Love Canal (go look that up)... plenty of junkies, myself included, have put far worse things into their bodies than tap water, and I'm still here. The dumbest thing I ever did was mix my coke with green GatorAid. I knew people who cooked their Heroin in a spoon using water scooped out of a city mud puddle. At least they boiled the solution first. Now that I think about it, 2 of them have passed away. The remaining 2 I haven't heard from in ages. I got lucky — born with a crazy strong tolerance to bacteria and an absurdly high RISK tolerance. Someone wiser than me once said "ain't nothin but pain, sufferin, and death down that road.

Not long ago I had to be reminded the hard way how important it is to label my vials RIGHT AWAY. And it's only 1 vial. There's plenty more where that came from



CHOOSE WISELY...

If it's only 1 vial from a kit, that probably runs about 10 or 15 dollars. I'd throw it away and be glad I avoided a potentially bad result.
 
Before you put anything into your body by injection, it seems like you either need to sort out the chaos in your household or keep what you're doing separate from it. If the people in your house are doing crafts, art, baking, melt and pour soap, or body products with no water in them — body butters made from solid and liquid oils, or salt or sugar scrubs, for example — then the level of chaos you described is completely fine.

But if you're going to make cold process soap, or any body product where water gets emulsified with oil and you therefore need a preservative and a careful sterile process, or if you're essentially self-medicating and acting as your own pharmacist, then you need processes that shield you from the chaos you described, because that's the point where it stops being muppety and harmless and becomes genuinely dangerous.

Oh, and one more thing — since both your kid and your sister were caught up in what happened with this vial, throw it out right this fucking second, and don't pay attention to anyone going on about your own risk tolerance, because you're not only risking yourself anymore. Whether something goes horribly wrong and makes you horribly sick is undetermined, but the odds that your kid and your sister would blame themselves for the rest of their lives over what happened to you if something does go wrong are close to 100%.
 
I'm shocked that this is something people are debating. Harm reduction should be the top priority for every person in this space. This doesn't qualify.
 
Tap water contains many kinds of bacteria, fungi, and viruses — and in large numbers, not merely a few. Even after filtration, it is absolutely not safe to inject.

Does that mean a tap water protocol is about to drop? Count me in🤔

Yeah, this has to be among the creepier discussions out there. It isn't just that a person might think about drawing from that vial — someone came right out and stated they'd inject it, and that doing so falls inside what they consider acceptable risk. Like there's any real debate over what the right move is.

Reminder to myself: every spent vial, cartridge, and similar item needs to be thrown away correctly and right away.

If you have any doubts at all, just discard it!
 
OP, do not pin it. Everyone else, do not pin anything of this sort either. Risk tolerance and plain risky are not the same thing. Consider it a cheap lesson.

That's an extremely valid observation. It hadn't crossed my mind at all, but absolutely—I'd throw it out just for that reason by itself.
