I looked up my needle ex; they only run 4 hrs a day on weekdays and only exchange 1 for 1. Of course, in retrospect, I would have rather made up a bogus reason to ditch work in the middle of the day and wait in line for one needle than deal with all this...but I seriously thought just cleaning it with an alcohol swab would do it.

Weird; I used to be an IV drug user and would share/reuse, and never got any sort of infection. How ironic.
