Backloading is when chems are dissolved in water in a syringe barrel (instead of drawing it up through a needle). The chems are dropped or poured into the barrel, the plunger is replaced and the syringe and is shaken vigorously to fully dissolve the chems, before slamming.
Risks
- Backloading can make it harder to measure doses accurately, increasing risk of overdose.
- Tiny particles that don’t dissolve can cause problems as you don’t want them in your blood stream.
Reducing risks
- Wash and dry your hands.
- Use a new or sterile syringe for each person*
- Dissolve chems in sterile or freshly boiled water**
Whatever you inject into your veins needs to be fully dissolved, as pure as possible, and not contain any crap.
*Mark or label the barrel to identify. **Allow the water to cool first.
