Looks like anaphylaxis. I had two incidents of anaphylaxis long ago and both were a reaction on oral lisinopril (may be or may be not). Was saved both times by EpiPen.

I think it’s too early to conclude anything. I’ve always thought peptides were risky based on the supposed evidence that has been claimed to support it. The FDA approved ones are better though, of course, and second those with larger human safety trials.

You cannot conclude much from this. Who knows what was responsible. People willingly inject themselves with dodgy stuff at a drop of a hat, no validation, no studies, nothing, just rumors and snakeoil pushers. If you think bodybuilders are risk takers, that’s nothing compared to some cosmetic procedure fans and longevity enthusiasts. Bodybuilders by comparison are almost scientists, lol.
But hey, if you take rapamycin (I do), we here are in no position to cast stones in glass houses. Plenty of us don’t stick to every precept of conventional medicine. We may think they are crazy, but others think we are just as crazy. YMMV.

Yes, lisiniprol, one of the most effective and widely prescribed ace-i drugs for BP control, may rarely cause anaphylaxis or even angiodema, a potentially fatal case of the hives. And then there is the lisinopril cough, a well-known complication.
No mention of what the peptides were, or where they came from. This is a baseless blanket demonization of an entire class of molecules.
