    thats a very very bad idea...

    bacteria grows at a hell of a rate inside a used syringe..

    your asking for trouble if you do.. there are lots of places out there to get them still.

    Understandable (hence why I asked the question).

    I was curious just because it's so easy to hide 100 pins (they come in a little box from ar-r) compared to how large a package of 100 syringes and pins are.





    It wasn't really about the money because the price is negligible. It was just a lot easier to handle.

    Why do you have to hide them?

    I prefer not to have the world know what I do. A lot of people (such as family and friends) look down at this type of behavior.

    I think most if not all suppliers mail them in unmarked packaging for discretion.

    Quick Historical Comment

    Just one point - if you were to actually *sterilize* the used syringes, you'd be fine - before the advent of disposable syringes, *all* syringes used in the medical profession were re-usable and had to be sterilized between uses.

    So the concept is valid - provided that you *sterilize* the syringe.....
