Over the last year I have had several such incidents. One which required a visit to the Dr who perscribed an oral antibiotic to clear up the infection. What irks me to no end is that I am VERY carefull about site cleaning and infection control before and after insertion and I still experience them from time to time. So I just continue as I always have and deal with them as they arise. I would say about 1 in every 10 gets some reaction, but thats just me I guess.
