Bac water sensitivity or am I imagining it, stinging keeps getting worse

Genuinely curious if anyone else has run into this. I reconstitute with bacteriostatic water and for the first few months the injections felt basically fine, just a tiny pinch.

Lately the sting at the site has been way more noticeable, like a burning that lingers for a minute or two after. Same vials I have been using, same lot of bac water even.

Could this be a sensitivity thing that builds up over time, or is it more likely I am just hitting more sensitive spots on my stomach. Fwiw I rotate sites but maybe not aggressively enough.

I know the profile mentions benzyl alcohol sensitivity is rare but is there anyone here who developed it after a while rather than right away. Also is acetic acid water actually gentler or does it sting worse, I have only used bac water so far.

Not looking for a diagnosis, just want to know if the stinging can actually creep up on you or if something else is probably going on.
