    Well if there are no pharmacies or stores open that have syringes I would just wait until they open. If one injection is off a day or two it won't cause too much of a ruckus, nothing to stress over. I would miss a shot before risking a dirty syringe. You have a lot more to worry about than a little dirt getting into your body, hepatitis C sucks. Boiling the syringe will not kill hep c and I have yet to see anyone post info proving that bleach does either. Don't risk it.

    So you just moved and you can find your used syringes but not new ones? Bummer. I think you can make the slin pin work if you really need to.

    Yes I have a sharps container with all my used pins, it's bright yellow and very hard to lose. My syringes were in a small white box, iv moved house and paid delivery people to move stuff for me there are hundreds if boxes. How could I possibly catch hep c, only I have used those syringes and I'm clean, I was thinking more along the line
    Of bacterial infections / abcesses

    Get to your local needle exchange in the morning.
    NO SOURCES GIVEN

    1/2" slin, in a lean spot, will work. Loading it however, is a problem, without backloading it, for which ya need another clean needle...

    Don't ever reuse a pin! One infection will make you miserable and maybe put you in the hospital. Be smart and tough it out till you have the right stuff

    Yes Capybara that's exactly it, I have the needles just not
    The barrel / plunger. I would never reuse a needle but I was thinking the barrel has only had juice in it and obviously been exposed to the air, if I flushes the barrel with hot water and then used a new needle on it I know it's risky. I won't be able to get the juice into the slin pin, even if I could im guessing quad would be best place to pin?

    Use the slin pin and do SQ pins or wait an extra day

    Do you think hot water is enough to kill all types of bacteria that may have attached to the barrels?

    Possibly but not definitely I think 137 degrees C kills everything but not boiling water. Iv managed to load the skin pin taken me about half hour to get the juice in. Would a quad injection get it into the muscle at 1/2 inch.

    Just do an SQ pin in the belly fat but keep them under .5ML per location.

    I'm not sure what I was thinking with the Hep C, my mind was in one place and words were in another, I was reading another thread about a drug abuser on here and got them confused as I thought you said you were sharing them but now I see that is not so. But still, if you've ever looked under the microscope at a used needle, even in a healthy individual, you would be surprised at all of the nasty things you find.

    I read in one thread you could just stick the whole bottle up your ass and it is a slow time release..never need to worry about looking for syringes again!

    I can imagine Rangerdanger bacteria grow on anything. I didn't use an old one in the end I used an insulin pin, took half an hour to get the oil drawn up. 1/2 inch needle I realise no where near long enough, did it in my quad hopefully the juice gets into my system. At least I know it's sterile

    It will get in, just may take a little longer if you didnt hit the muscle...no big deal man.

    Try a local pharmacy or a farm feed/pet store.

    In my area you can walk into any farm store that sells animal products and buy syringes for animal use. No different but might have to use a bigger gauge until you get some more. But I also live in the Midwest so we have lots of rural areas with stores like this.

    It will get in I have used slin pins many times. Ina lot of ways I prefer them cause they cause less scar tissue and pip. I have always back loaded them though
