These are cortisol steroids not anabolic steriods sounds like a bad batch from the company that makes them. Anabolic steroids are intramuscular injections in the butt thigh or shoulder these that are talked about in the article are to reduce inflamation not give you bigger muscles so folks here probably won't have to worry about it.

The steroids in question were injected in the epidural space that surrounds the spinal cord and CNS. Introducing an organism like Aspergillosis into a normally sterile and immune priveleged site can only be disastrous. I do feel anabolics are just as dangerous, in a slow, chronic, 20 yrs later sort of way, but the comparison is not the same.
