Who here has used the same needle more than once?

**J Rod** · 10-29-2002, 08:59 PM

I will be on my last needle tomorrow and will have to reuse some of them. How safe/unsafe is this? How many of you do this?

BTW: I do not draw the pro/fina out with the same needle I stick myself with. I draw out my AS with an 18 gauge and inject with a 23 gauge.

DO NOT USE THE SAME NEEDLE!!!!!!! That is not very smart....you run the risk of infection and bacteria. Also the needle will be alot duller the second time you poke yourself. Needles cost very little so just go buy some more. This is just my opinion.....do what you want.....Good luck!!!

Thanks for the heads up dude... I know some people who have done it..
I just didnt feel like spending $1.00 each for more.. lol

I gotta buddy that can get them for .25 cents each but we have seperate schedules and its hard to meet up.

I have a long time ago, but once someone posted a pic of needle that had been used a few times, that was it for me. Fresh one everytime, 18G then whatever I'm usin.

18g?????

OUCH!!!

(yeah so I'm a pussy, I don't like holes the size of a storm sewer on my butt!)

Reusing needles is very unsanitary. Like Trevor metioned it could cause an infection, become inflamed and be very painful. How do you explain it to your Doc when you have it treated..." aaaa...well doc, you see...aaaa...". Then you'll get that whole 'steriods are bad' speech. Not a good situation. Save the hassle and the pain, spend the extra cash.

18g to draw from the bottle bro

, Yea that would hurt... yikes

**Red Ketchup** · 10-29-2002, 09:40 PM

Ahhh drawing! Ok same here

You had me scared for a minute there.

Damm, sticking with an 18g, you'd really have to be hard up for pinz!

**Jdawg50** · 10-29-2002, 09:49 PM

I have done those pre-loaded susts before they were like 18-20, back in college, i didnt know any better. Those left a mark. I think they were made for horses.

I have learned my lesson

Stop being so cheap and just buy more. There's are web sites that sell this stuff cheap.

**symatech** · 10-29-2002, 11:08 PM

bump, spend some extra cash just to be safe

You can walk down to most Pharmacies and get them right away at 100 for like $15-20. Most do not require a prescription... a simple solution.

Never reuse needles, its just not worth the risk. I dropped a needle today in the shower. I ended up having to draw from the bottle with my second needle and I didn't have a fresh one to use for my body. I ended up walking out of the shower after 15 mins of being in there and grabbing a fresh needle. haha, it was kinda funny since my suitemates were wondering what the hell i was doing in the shower for 15 mins to be dry when i walked out and back in.

I'll let them believe whatever they want!

**Buddha_Red** · 10-30-2002, 06:45 AM

i have to agree with the bros.

you can buy 100 syringes with removable needles for like 11 bucks plus shipping (average)

dont risk the nasty ass infections.
