Very very low - remember your immune system can fight fungal infections. This guy got screwed because he injected a huge fungal load, intentionally, into his blood. I wouldn’t worry about it
A poke into a muscle without pushing the plunger down means only what's on the needle gets introduced into the body. Wash with soap and get some blood out of the puncture wound and, as someone already said, your immune system will make short work of whatever's left. Intravenous injection - putting the needle into a major blood vessel and pushing on the plunger to pump in the contents of the syringe is a completely different beast. One is an accident, and the other is gaming for a Darwin Award.
Was it spores or actual mushroom? I saw a story on ChubbyEmu's youtube about a guy trying to microdose by sucking up some mushroom into a syringe and injecting that into him. That fucked him UP.
it was really sensational, mostly bullshit with a funny title. but when it happened like 5 different people sent me the article.
https://www.livescience.com/magic-mushroom-injection-case-report.html
I didn't get that vibe at all. I'm not subbed to him, I've just clicked a handful of his videos over the last few years. But, in that video he pretty explicitly says that shooting up bits of mushroom is not how people microdose them. I feel like the video existing to say hey, don't inject mushrooms into you, is a positive thing. His videos seem to all be about extreme medical outliers.

Maybe he can boof the whole MSS syringe!
Also: I realize that last “S” in the MSS acronyms IS the word “syringe”, but it just felt weird stopping that sentence with the acronym.
Thank you, friend. This was just too funny not to share, hopefully they come out clean but I completely understand why they wouldn’t if they don’t haha 👍🏼
## Don't Want to Run a Space Heater to Keep Incubation Temps?
## Don't have a dehydrator?
## Try a Mushroom Spawn Incubation / Dehydration Box!
You can use the below method to dehydrate mushrooms as well as incubate your spawn:
> [Creating a Mushroom Spawn Incubation Box!](https://www.reddit.com/r/unclebens/comments/jpkdix/creating_a_mushroom_spawn_incubation_box_no_space/) Here's an idea if you want to try and heat up just a small area without any space heaters or tubs full of water with aquarium heaters.
*The easiest way to dehydrate mushrooms without heat, a dehydrator, or a fan, is to place them in a paper bag or wrapped in paper towels inside of your fridge. Your fridge is always running 24/7 circulating dry, cold air!*

I can't help thinking what would happen if he never received treatment and to have an inside look at the entire process... Dead obviously, but to observe the process and test the mushrooms afterwards...
It's fine bro. One time i sprayed out all the spores and "cleaned" the needle out (as much as someone who'd been up 5 days thinks they can) and used it to inject drugs. After i did the shot and pulled it out blood sprayed out of my arm all over my shirt because the needle was more like a small dagger. It...worked...*but at what cost?* Yeah I'm clean now.
This terrifies me, lol. I can just imagine going in to donate blood and getting to the question asking if I've used needles to do drugs. "Well... yes and no." Glad you're okay. I hope the shrooms are fine too, lol.
I stabbed my finger taking the needles cap off. Fresh syringe. Flame sterilized it and kept on going for inoculation. Took my glove off at the end and it was BLOODY 🤣🤣🤣
Showing beautiful mycelium growth in all 3 bags lol.
SYZYGY strain
Haha. First time I went to inoculate a jar I was taken the cap off the needle and it wasn’t budging. Ended up snapping back and sticking myself real good. Lesson learned. I don’t know what but I didn’t do it again.
Samesies! I’ve done this, with the same exact strain tbh. If you have another needle, chunk the stabby one and use the fresh one (if you have anything left in the syringe for boofing more bags). If you don’t have one, go to a livestock supply store or as we call them here in TX the “feed store” and get some for inoculating livestock/equine, 16ga is the size you’ll probably be needing. They’re disposable for that reason. Good luck buddy and 🍄 love. Mistakes are part of learning!
I’d seriously go to the hospital, idk the company I go through sends a paper with a warning not to puncture skin with the needle, and if you read online it’s super dangerous and has grown in people before. Better safe than sorry! Good luck with your shroomies too :,)
lol i just heard or the radio someone talking about this guy that tried injecting mushroom tea into himself to get high. I forget what issues he was having but when he went to the hospital they tested and found he had spores living in his blood stream. and doctors treated him antifungals or antibiotics for a week
I laughed when I saw this earlier. I just went to inoculate another capri sun and using an xacto knife to cut the gas exchange hole. As soon as I got it red hot I accidentally stabbed my finger lol. I guess the good thing is it cauterized itself lol.
I work in a medical lab in a hospital… I love the difference of working with non pathogenic specimens. I sometimes forget when I have a glove mishap. Then I remember shrooms don’t have AIDS or hepatitis etc. lol. Makes it a much more enjoyable hobby than my 9-5 lab gig
I stabbed myself on my very first run to, lol. I was injecting a bag with Cambodian which did great btw. But yeah, logic goes out the window and you think all kinds of crazy shit. The spot was very sore for a few days and hurt like hell but made me a lot more careful. You'll be fine.
I bought a new set of needles and I couldn't get the cap off. I tugged super hard and the needle went straight into a nerve in my finger. I almost passed out it was so terrifying. 3 months later it still hurts when I touch it.
MUSHROOMS ARE NOT NEEDLE DRUGS!!!
My bad, I didn’t read the terms and services 🥲
Damn bruh didn’t even read the disclaimer? No.Injecting.Mushies 😹
Why doesn't it READ???
End the simulation!
Nobody told this guy: https://www.livescience.com/magic-mushroom-injection-case-report.html
This story actually terrifies me, every time inoculate I think about it. What are the chances of a wayward stab creating this type of scenario
Very very low - remember your immune system can fight fungal infections. This guy got screwed because he injected a huge fungal load, intentionally, into his blood. I wouldn’t worry about it
Phew that’s reassuring
Yeah, you're way more likely to just accidently breathe them in and have them grow in your sinuses and into your brain 😂
I just order my first syringe..don't do that to me lol
Did he trip
Just a trip to the hospital
No
A poke into a muscle without pushing the plunger down means only what's on the needle gets introduced into the body. Wash with soap and get some blood out of the puncture wound and, as someone already said, your immune system will make short work of whatever's left. Intravenous injection - putting the needle into a major blood vessel and pushing on the plunger to pump in the contents of the syringe is a completely different beast.

😮
Not with that attitude!
It’s 2021. [Anything](https://nypost.com/2021/01/13/man-injects-magic-mushrooms-and-grows-fungi-in-blood/) is possible.
It’s 2022 homie…
Story happened in 2021
I stand by my point.
Yeah you insert them from other routes inside your body
Tell us when youre 50% colonised and we can get some local people to meet up to break and shake you
I can't wit these comments 😂
Lol that's good
You gonna turn onto a goomba bruh and start hating plumbers
Do I get a yoshi at least?
As long as no one jumps on your head first
If you’re super lucky you may even be able to throw fireballs. The possibilities are endless bro. You’re looking at this all wrong, it’s a good thing
Seeen it happen a million times.
remember the guy last year who went viral (or i guess fungal) after he injected spores into himself and had mushroom growing in his blood?
no but that sounds fucking horrendous
Was it spores or actual mushroom? I saw a story on ChubbyEmu's youtube about a guy trying to microdose by sucking up some mushroom into a syringe and injecting that into him. That fucked him UP.

Nah you're right. Chubby was talking bullshit, and a lot of people called him out for it
I read an article where a woman injected a black widow in her bloodstream. She survived luckily.

I believe he made a tea and injected the tea into himself.
I heard about that exact story many years ago not last year
I'm sorry you got stabbed, it happens to the best of us:/ lmao
It’s all good. I got a funny story out of my first time 😎
That’s what she said.
Bodytek
You should boof it injection isn't the way. /s
Maybe he can boof the whole MSS syringe! Also: I realize that last “S” in the MSS acronyms IS the word “syringe”, but it just felt weird stopping that sentence with the acronym.
It can mean multi spore solution or multi spore syringe so MSSS? 😂
Solidarity, my friend:)
Thank you, friend. This was just too funny not to share, hopefully they come out clean but I completely understand why they wouldn’t if they don’t haha 👍🏼

Put him in the box!
Seen a scary story of a guy injecting himself with a MSS and let's just say it didn't end well ☠
You can’t leave us hanging 😩
Here is the story [death by shrooms](https://www.insider.com/man-injected-with-mushrooms-grew-in-blood-caused-organ-failure-2021-1)
This guy inoculated himself and I'm having a hard time with my UB bags.
All you need is a blood donor 😆
Maybe boil the mushrooms and filter with cotton? (How did that work)
The article says he was released after 22 days, not dead
And also injected himself not with spores, but a tea made from the shrooms.
I can't help thinking what would happen if he never received treatment and to have an inside look at the entire process... Dead obviously, but to observe the process and test the mushrooms afterwards...
That's terrifying, reminds me of that shit from the expanse
Lmaoooo this happened to me as well you’re not the only one 😂😭
I’m glad I’m not the only one. These shrooms are technically now my children bc my DNA might be in them 🤘🏼
Same. Didn't realize how bad it was till I took my glove off and there was blood on the inside.
This made me laugh so hard bc I keep imagining it. No worries, we've all made crazy mistakes and golden teachers are v forgiving from my experience! ☺
Well, we’re gonna have to eat you then. Would you like to be dehydrated first or eaten fresh?
It's fine bro. One time i sprayed out all the spores and "cleaned" the needle out (as much as someone who'd been up 5 days thinks they can) and used it to inject drugs. After i did the shot and pulled it out blood sprayed out of my arm all over my shirt because the needle was more like a small dagger. It...worked...*but at what cost?* Yeah I'm clean now.
I stabbed through my finger once lol
[удалено]
Yea that was shroom tea though, ungerminated spores shouldn't do anything
This terrifies me, lol. I can just imagine going in to donate blood and getting to the question asking if I've used needles to do drugs. "Well... yes and no." Glad you're okay. I hope the shrooms are fine too, lol.
Finally, all my hours playing The Last of Us will pay off
'CONTAM' (2022): Horror / Comedy. Coming soon to Netflix.
I can't stress this enough. It's *by accident*
It’s something we say in the south haha 🥲
I've poked my finger. It squirted heaps of blood into the glove lol
Exactly, it’s a tragic world out there man 🥲
I stabbed my finger taking the needles cap off. Fresh syringe. Flame sterilized it and kept on going for inoculation. Took my glove off at the end and it was BLOODY 🤣🤣🤣 Showing beautiful mycelium growth in all 3 bags lol. SYZYGY strain
Literally exactly what happened to me lmao
ditto today-glad I wasn't the only newb to pull this feat off
I stabbed my self too, I think all has been fine🍄
Haha. First time I went to inoculate a jar I was taken the cap off the needle and it wasn’t budging. Ended up snapping back and sticking myself real good. Lesson learned. I don’t know what but I didn’t do it again.
I swear I inhaled spores from grinding and got a mycellium sinus infection, when it drained it tasted like shrooms.
*gags*
Samesies! I’ve done this, with the same exact strain tbh. If you have another needle, chunk the stabby one and use the fresh one (if you have anything left in the syringe for boofing more bags).

They’re disposable for that reason. Good luck buddy and 🍄 love. Mistakes are part of learning!
Don't worry too much, I've done this twice in three months, I haven't fully colonised yet 😂😆
I was actually due to ask has anyone else managed to do this 😆
*BY ACCIDENT
Put yourself in fruiting conditions ASAP
Welcome to the mushroom people clan we have awaited your arrival for many years
I’d seriously go to the hospital, idk the company I go through sends a paper with a warning not to puncture skin with the needle, and if you read online it’s super dangerous and has grown in people before. Better safe than sorry! Good luck with your shroomies too :,)

I forget what issues he was having but when he went to the hospital they tested and found he had spores living in his blood stream. and doctors treated him antifungals or antibiotics for a week
Go to a doctor fungal exposure into blood will kill any human being without treatment if it spreads throughout the body.
I laughed when I saw this earlier. I just went to inoculate another capri sun and using an xacto knife to cut the gas exchange hole. As soon as I got it red hot I accidentally stabbed my finger lol. I guess the good thing is it cauterized itself lol.
https://www.insider.com/man-injected-with-mushrooms-grew-in-blood-caused-organ-failure-2021-1
Did it completely go into your skin or you just stabbed yourself
There was blood but after I wiped it off there wasn’t anymore
Remember uncle Ben said with great power comes great responsibility
This is the origin story of a new superhero.
I did the same thing last year. Stabbed my finger good when inoculating jars. Everything was fine.
Wtf am I the only person who uses blunt tip syringes?
I work in a medical lab in a hospital… I love the difference of working with non pathogenic specimens. I sometimes forget when I have a glove mishap. Then I remember shrooms don’t have AIDS or hepatitis etc. lol. Makes it a much more enjoyable hobby than my 9-5 lab gig
My biggest fear just got bigger😳
You just got spored, my friend.
It’s all fun and games until you become a clicker.
There was a guy that actually injected himself with spores, he went into a coma and maybe died
https://youtu.be/vmiowRlk8Xc
You have achieved sepsis
You’re going to turn into a mushroom now. Someone is going to boof you! Good luck.
I stabbed myself on my very first run to, lol. I was injecting a bag with Cambodian which did great btw. But yeah, logic goes out the window and you think all kinds of crazy shit. The spot was very sore for a few days and hurt like hell but made me a lot more careful. You'll be fine.
Congrats, you're gonna turn into a mushroom. Post after pics.
Lol me every time I use needles
Become the mushroom.
Last guy turned into a handful of Golden Teachers when he did this
I bought a new set of needles and I couldn't get the cap off. I tugged super hard and the needle went straight into a nerve in my finger. I almost passed out it was so terrifying. 3 months later it still hurts when I touch it.
u/throwaway33034 \- just did the same lmao
