I overheard a conversation at the gym last night (you really shouldn't talk where others can here you, but that's another conversation). A young guy was talking about how his pin site was red and possibly infected. He stated that he had poured isopropyl alcohol over his pin site before and the site was soaking wet, so he didn't know how he could of gotten an infection. There could of been many reasons to why he got an infection, but one of the reasons could of been that he didn't let the alcohol dry before pinning.Isopropyl alcohol is used for an antiseptic because of it's DRYING properties, not because the wet alcohol kills the germs. Bacteria and viruses are killed on skin when isopropyl is applied and then is dried. Isopropyl alcohol has a high evaporation rate and it is this drying property that actually kills the "germs". These microscopic, living creatures need water to survive (the water within their cells). When isopropyl alcohol is applied to the skin, it evaporates and actually sucks the moisture from the bacteria and kills the germs.There can be many reasons for PIP and infections, but letting your site dry completely should be a standard step. Sorry if this is "common knowledge", but make sure you swab your pin site and let it dry completely before you pin.

  14. L @ Layne_Cobain: Snickers almond FTW 🙌
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yes the mars almond was in a white-ish wrapper
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Oh god! Way too much nuance and variation between Mars, Milky Way, and 3 musketeers. There’s was a special mars that had almond. A Mars bar from the UK is closer to a snickers than a traditional mars. What a rabbit hole though.

  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Anyone remember mars bars? I remember as a kid going over to my grandpas he’d keep them in the freezer we’d get there and go right for them haha so good think had almonds in them probably similar to a snickers almond
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Okay, somehow I missed putting my two cents in during the chocolate discussion. The big near-half-pound slab of Hersheys Symphony bar with the BLUE label is hands down the best mainstream chocolate bar in America. You folks over across the pond kill it with Cadbury’s and I won’t deny it’s the best but those damn blue symphonies have me hooked.
