    How to Clean a used Needle?

    I ran out of clean needles.........first let me say more are coming, but will not be here when I am due my next poke.....

    If i am forced to use an old needle........what is the most effective way to clean it..

    Does the plunger need to be cleaned, or only the needle (pin)?

    Just go to a pharmacy and get some. If you are man enough to poke yourself you should be man enough to go get the ****.

    WOW. I wouldnt even bother. personally i would just skip the shot and wait until i get my new needles. not worth the chance of infection.

    In some states you cannot simply go to the Pharmacy and purchase needles.........Unfortunately, I am in one of those states.

    Has nothing to do with being a man????? what a rediculous comment.

    Use A Pressure Cooker. Bring Up The Pressure With The #10 Weight And Start Timeing It After It Starts Making Noise. Then Time To 10 Minites Then It Is Sterilized

    if i planned sooo poorly and absolutly had to reuse i would run lots of alcohol through it and soak the pin in it. it's gonna hurt a bit more cuz it's not as sharp...piss poor planning imo

    I actually extended a 10 week cycle to 12 weeks........Sustanon 250.

    I am 99% sure you cannot get needles in my state w/out a script. I am in one of those conservative NE States (Not NY).

    if I had to, I would stick the needle in a bottle of iodine then in 95+% isopropyl and suck some in through the needle then out, then let air dry

    I technically did not F'it up yet!! I have two more days!!

    Think ARR can get them here by Monday if I order tonight? My GF has my CC, so tonight is the earliest i can order.

    How did this situation occur?.......I decided to go from 10 to 12 weeks. Knowing I would run short on needles, I asked a buddy of mine to pick me up some when he went home to FLA for Christmas. No problem......You can walk into walgreens in FLA. He called last night saying he got them, but was coming back next thursday........He is not going to mail them.

    Soaking needles in rubbing alcohol WILL NOT sterilize them. Needles right out of the package are sterile. Once they have been used they are considered 'dirty' and unsterile and should be disposed of.
