I had enough syringes for 10 weeks and im going to go for 12 weeks now.
I dont want to have to order a bunch of syringes for only 4 that I need. I have plenty of pins but can I reuse one of the syringes 4 times?

i have reused syinges before but i wouldnt do it more than once i wouldnt rec reusing one at all but eh ...
i don't know man...i'm all about sterility...seems so trivial not to use new syringes every time since they are like dirt cheap. why not just save the extra syringes for next time.
lol next time.. pffffft you poor bastard, as I said before and many do not believe this is my first and last time, im not addicted and plan to stick to my guns as I have always said. Im only doing this once.
Its ok to use syringes a few times for these emergency purposes.
Maybe draw some alcohol into the syringe when youre done to clean it out, then push it out and put a new pin.
never use the same pin twice though (for injecting i mean. but i always use the same pin for drawing then injecting.)
go to any pharmacy and get 4. its like a few cents. noone has ever questioned me
Being in the mdeical field and working in a hosp, will make sure you never forget about sterility. All it takes is to see one bad ass staph infection or cyst.
Agreed, spend the extra bucks in my opinion.Quote:

There is no alternative unless you are stupid enough to risk serious infection for a few measly cents.Quote:

One of the big things he taught me: NEVER store anything that needs to be kept sterile under the sink. Even if the needle/syringe/cotton-swabs/etc. are wrapped in paper or paper/plastic, if the sink backs-up, or even drips, you have to assume that everything is contaminated. Paper gets wet, becomes a corridor for bacteria to get in, paper dries out and you can't tell it's been compromised.

yeah im just saying hes in a rare situation here. I think statistically he has a good chance of NOT getting infected if he is only doing it once or twice.
Going to a pharm and getting a few more is not an option for most of us. Here is AZ its legal, but they still wont do it. No pharms Ive been to will sell me any. The one that did say they wont do it again...
dont do it dude...
ive done it many of times before i knew of all these websites. they were hard as hell for me to get years ago so i had to do what i had to do. id never do it now since there so cheap i buy them by the thousand. im well aware of the consequances of reusing a syringe but lucky for me i never got an infection or cyst. id definatly never recommend anyone else do this because it only takes one time to really mess you up but i just had to tell my story.
10 bux right here at ARR and your sterility problems are solved...
spend the extra cash and get some more pins bro... more than likely u wld b fine reusing, but u will probably sleep better knowing your sh!t is definetley sterile, rather then, well i'll probably b fine...
shouldnt be a prob just dont reuse the needles, now that would be over the top..Dull needles ugh!
So I could go to a Rite-Aid or Walgreens and get 1", 3cc darts?Quote:

Walmarts are famous for selling pins to anyone without prescription although walgreens and CVS are not so easy.Quote:

It was easy as hell and no one asked any questions even though I was buying needles at 1:30 in the morning lol. I did tell them that my dog has frequent allergic reactions and it was kind of an emergency (I even said it was oxavet that I give my dog lol). Anyway, with them being this easy to get, just buy new needles bro; your health should come above all else.Quote:

You can catch HIV or Hep. from a needle only if someone with one of those diseases just used the same needle to inject himself.Quote:

Lah!
mind you I was talking SYRINGES only not needles, but I get the idea
Hey man go to a feed store. You can get syringes for like .25 a piece. There excatly the same type you would get from a pharmacy. Just my advice. I have done that in a pinch.
Syringes are just as bad to reuse as needles, even if you only used them on yourself.Quote:
