    risks of unsanitary needles

    when i use my needles i dont dispose it until i am done with everything so i keep the open ones with the closed ones in my safe. but recently i opened all of them to check them out, and today i used a needle to inject myself, adn then it dawned on me that iw asnt sure which needle was the used one and which one was new. i used the one on monday and put it right back in my safe. do you think im running into risks???

    infection! needles are sterile in the packs man, never unwrap them. only unwrap them right when you're about to use them, and even then be careful with them; don't rub them on anything, don't cough or sneeze on them, etc.
