another thing to add, the infection was viral and didnt respond to antibiotics!

I'd try a different supplier.  If you're using a fresh vial from the same supplier, it might have the same contamination (if that's indeed the source of contamination).  And get fresh bac water while you're at it.  If there's any reason to doubt needles, get new needles.
 
(And you probably know all this: Alcohol swab the tops of the vial and the bac water, and the injection site each time a needle touches it.  Always use different swabs.  Never reuse a needle.  When storing it in the fridge, store the vial in a small container of its own.)
 
But it might not be contamination at all.  You might try waiting a month or two -- sometimes viral crap, or anything infecting the lymph nodes, can reoccur just because it didn't fully go away for whatever reason.  
Good luck with it.

Reviving an old thread here ...
 
One week ago this past Friday, my niece got out of the hospital.  She'd been there for a week and a day.  Her lymph nodes near her groin were extremely swollen.  She was spiking temperatures of 104 and 105 for 4 days.  She was vomiting, to the point of vomiting blood.  Her head and neck hurt so much that she was given morphine to relieve the pain.  Nothing they did was helping.  At first, they thought it was viral.  However, on the seventh day in the hospital, it was decided that her lymph node needed to be removed.  It was the size of an egg, and they dissected it.  The internal part of the node was dead.  We are still waiting on test results to confirm the bacteria they believe it to be.
 
Two weeks prior to falling ill, she'd begun Melanotan II injections.  Her co-workers were discussing this with a customer.  That woman reported the same thing had happened to her own daughter only weeks before.  Her daughter too, ahd just begun Melanotan II injections.

We don't know.  We're hoping the customer will return so we can ask questions.  My concern isn't so much the peptide, but the source.  A lot of this is being imported from China.  China doesn't exactly have the best record in safety issues.  I would hate to think that someone died as a result of contaminated product.  We still have all the vials and a connection to have them tested.  We are just waiting for these final tests to come back.
 

thats really bad, i do experience pain in my thighs sometimes and im sure its related to melanotan II usage . any feedback would be great ?????

Any update on this?
 
My last batch made me so sick I had to stop after 3 injections of < 0.5mg each (i. 190lbs too).
 
Actually same with the batch before. BUt i've had great experiences in the past, and from taking larger quantities...

You haven't mentioned how fresh your saline water is.  It is saline FOR INJECTIONS?

I get swolen lymph nodes about once a year when I'm stressed/underslept/on meds etc over a period of time. It happens when your immune system is low. I think it is more that you are using melanotan II in the first place, rather than the quality of it, if you get what I mean. It lowers your immunity which makes your nodes swell. So people that are prone to it may get sick. I dont think it means its a bad batch, your system is probably just a bit knocked around by it. My last lymph attack was 2 months ago and I started melanotan II about 3 weeks ago, and I am fine so far...fingers crossed.

I have been using melanotan II for a year now with good results but I feel sick after each injection.
I inject prior to bed so it doesn’t bother me much. The source of the product is American 99+% purity so they claim and I believe them because I know a number of others who use from the same source and batch. We also have bacteriostatic water from the same source and one of the user’s works in the medical profession so we know what we are doing. About 6 months ago I noticed a swollen lymph node under my jaw so I have seen the doctor had blood tests and go for an ultrasound tomorrow.
I should have all the results later in the week.
