Reusing Your Needles?

Is there any way to safely do it? Ive done it before with no problems but i never thought otherwise. i kept them in their packs and used them no more than 2 times. i also thoroughly swabbed them with alchohol between uses. I have a limited supply so im trying to make them last. I try to take every precaution to make sure i keep it as clean as possible. My dealer said this was ok, is it? Is one of those questions thats obvious to you roid vets and that will make me look like a retard?

Stop it right now for godsakes! Never do it again. Needles are so cheap anyway. You are risking your well-being for several pennies worth of savings.

Mods, for the love of god, let this post through.

there are various companies that sell needles and syringes over the internet and are very discreet. 5$ could buy you a pack of 25 needles, maybe even cheaper.You can get away with what you are doing but it really isnt worth it.Be safe.

getting a nasty infection isnt worth saving a few bucks on needles…

send me a pm if you need a source for pinz.

I used to boil mine in water to sterilize. It was harder to get pinz back then. Never had a problem but dull needles leave more scar tissue so its best to use a new one each time. They’re not too hard to get.

OP - Where in the world are you? We can get pins, barrels, swabs, sharps boxes for free here in England*

Yes renton we sure do on occasoin. hehe

To the OP…dont ever resuse needles. Its just not worth the risk for the minimal cost savings involved. There is one guy on here that is in Japan if i recall correctly and he pays a couple bucks a pop for them. Even in that case I still would not reuse.

That’s me and I don’t reuse. Pay the extra money. You care about your body enough to put exogenous hormones into it. Care enough about it to take every precaution to keep infection out.

I don’t, however, change pins after withdrawing from a vial. And I don’t have any problems with that, either. Aside from the last time, when I decided to experiment and move further down the quad and hit a nerve and found out just what hitting a nerve feels like. Damn! Pulled that sucker out quick.

Don’t loose sight of the fact that your skin always has a lot of bacteria in and on it. Cleaning with alcohol does not eliminate but only reduces. Your immune system deals with the bacteria. If you were serious about reducing bacterial, you would not be doing so with a prep pad.

Diabetics have been and continue to use needles more than once. In some areas, nurses tell patients that using prep pads is optional as studies showed that antibody and other blood markers showed no difference either way and infected injection sights are extremely rare, occurring with prep pad use or not.

Many health care professionals will tell you to always use prep pads, because they fear that if something did happen they could be sued. So they often advise for legal reasons.

Cleaning needles in between injections is a good idea. If after an injection, any alcohol will evaporate. If before, alcohol in the end of the needle can be painful.

A reused needle, properly cleaned with alcohol, can easily be much cleaner than the skin that you inject through, swabbed or not.

(TRT: I load insulin syringes and inject EOD with T cyp and hCG and get multiple injections per load before discarding. Not quite were one is with gear.)

Sorry I’d rather have my taxes go to other things. The people (thats who gives the government money) shouldn’t have to pay for the pinz that others shoot drugs with.

A valid point and well made Hagar although my original post was meant as a rather tongue in cheek jest. There’s alot to be said for and against needle exchanges and even here in the UK the debate goes for ever on.

Word.

It can potentially be every bit as safe as using fresh needles if done properly, yes.

But from a purely psychological viewpoint, for me, it’s just a step away from main-lining the gear.

Unlike most people, I don’t only swab with alcohol. I’m a bit more overprecautious and first swab with povidone-iodine as well. Most people neglect the fact that rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) is only a cleaning agent, and not a topical antiseptic, which is where the povidone-iodine comes in.

Are you fuckin crazy?

Never reuse a needle!

EVER!
