Last Saturday I had a guy come over to get some corals for free. While I was fragging a large chunk of utter chaos zoas a zoa squirted right in my eye. I’ve heard the horror stories people losing their eyes do to zoa toxins. So I ran straight to the sink and flushed my eyes for at least a minute. I thought I was good but nope. One Sunday morning my eye started to get a little itchy. By the afternoon it was really watery and I started getting mucus when I would whip it. I work Sunday nights so during a bathroom break I noticed my eye was completely bloodshot. By the end of the night I started getting blurry vision and really started to worry. I got home around 2:30am and thought for sure my wife had Visine but I couldn’t not find it and I didn’t want to wake her. I was thinking I was going to go to urgent care in the morning. I had one last Hail mary play in my book.
My wife and I have been using PEDs and peptides to improve our health. We have been using this peptide called BPC-157 off and on for a year or so now. They call BPC-157 the wolverine peptide because of its ability to speed up recovery of injuries.

I took two doses of 250mcg and injected the peptide subQ into the corners of my right eye.
I took my shower and went to bed. Woke up 7hours later and went to see what my eye looked like. I did have a little bit of mucus but no where near what it was like the night before. I also did notice the itching was almost completely gone. It just felt like I had a piece of sleep in the corner of my eye. When I looked in the mirror I was completely shocked at how much the redness had went away. Literally have of the bloodshot was gone. Here’s what my eye looked like on Monday evening while I was at work.

You have to install eye wash station like they have in the shops. This is for emergency to avoid hospitalization.

Damn man, glad you are doing better! That's sketchy for sure.

I've been learning more about BPC-157 injections. You literally injected it into your eyeball?!

As a nurse, I highly do not recommend injecting anything into your eyes. This new age of social media promoting companies like Transcend etc which sell designer injectables is crazy to me. These companies dont really care about your health. Careful what you put into your body. Glad to see you're doing better.

Very curious to see how this works out, if the BPC-157 really helps that much! Glad to hear that you seem to be okay, hope everything goes well.

Thanks for sharing with us. Glad to hear you you’re doing better.
I think I’m going to use safety goggles when fragging from now on. ?

No I injected it into the corners of the eye in the skin subcutaneous

I’m glad you are doing better now. I would’ve gone straight to the emergency when the accident occurred. Your eyes are worth way more than any amount of money.

Working at a wholesaler, I had my fair share of zoa scares and ER visits. Sadly, the surgeon general had zero information and I had to guide them in the process of flushing out the eye with solution.
Most hospitals will have an eye flushing drip especially made for these situations. It’s considered a poisonous substance (envenomation) so the best thing to do is to dilute the poison by IV drips and IV flushing the eye ?️.

Interestingly, getting the venom in my eyes fixed my vision somehow.
