Hey guys...
Today i pinned and afterwards realized that i had used hydrogen peroxide instead of rubbing alcohol to sterilize the needle and injection site. Could this cause any problems?
thanks.

you never need to sterilize a needle. They come sterile. You are actually just contaminating it IMO.Quote:

yeah what they said..but to answer your question you're safe!.. both are antiseptics and disinfectants. and as far as their chemical compounds are concerned peroxide is closer to being water so make of that what you will...but I've don't it lots as i have had peroxide wipes before and used them without any issue at all
You should be fine. Just keep an eye on it.
