Well, having tigers as pets it means you'll be protected from other wild animals, so not a good example. But there are also people that have cobras as pets and often nothing happens and when it does it's fatal for sure LOLbyefatlicia said:

this is the biggest bunch of crap (I'm talking about the pic you posted). The needle tip would much rather snap then bend. BS, the tip does get dull though and no it does not bend.FlowerFairy said:

You're calling someone a moron for using an abundance of caution and mitigating risk? I suspect you are trolling to start drama.Fisherman2356 said:
It's for sure rage bait. It read like it on the first post. If it is true I'm more surprised they don't mix the peptides together in one vial to save some cash on empty vials making the needle last even longer lol.byefatlicia said:

That's where the problem lies in those words. mitigating risk, what risk? Do you people even have a slight capacity to think? He said he draws with a different needle then uses a different one to pin? How on the green earth does that even makes sense. I can't even call that paranoid, so it has to be called for what it is totally dumb and stupid.byefatlicia said:

I hear you but think about it the guy draws from the vial and somehow thinks that if he then changes the needle and uses a new needle that is a safer way, which in fact adds another layer and another possible way to contaminate or come in contact with contaminants. No other way to call it than dumb.HereKittyKitty said:

Well, there is an even cheaper sure-fire tool, it's called an alcohol wipe more like one penny a piece. I've been doing it this way for over three years now and have ZERO intention of changing my way.nonyabizznez said:

I decided to be cheap once and buy inexpensive needles from Amazon; not BD lok-luer.FlowerFairy said:

Here is Vancouver the size of a alcohol wipe is the same as a nickel. What happened to the ones that you can unfold ?Fisherman2356 said:
I use cosmetic pads and buy a bottle of 99% isopropyl alcohol.
Using a new needle in this instance would be more to assure you have the sharpest needle for injection into your RS. If good sterile technique was used, there is very little contamination risk; but there is also nothing wrong with an abundance of caution.Fisherman2356 said:
Saying they are a moron is uncalled for, and not reasonable IMHO.
Some RS just want to eliminate as many unknowns as possible, and/or are sensitive to the pin.
Fisherman2356 said:
you do realize that alcohol won't kill all the bacteria, right?
and changing needles is just adding more safety, not less, unlike what you are doing?
Next thing we're gonna hear is that the alcohol wipes do kill all the bacteria, because you can't see any bacteria on your needle?

I've posted that here. Easy Tough or BD for me. There's one more good one I hear.CharlieBrown said:
He's only changing the needle because he thinks the rubber stopper is dulling the syringe, well it's not. I can't even feel the 31g 8mm needle. I had tossed his idea area around for a little, then moved on from this thought.hoobz said:
This guy is my new favorite poster on this forum!Fisherman2356 said:
I do have to say, in his defense, I was talking to a nurse with over 30 yrs experience who said I was being wasteful in putting a fresh needle on my pep-pen before every injection. According to her, "nobody" in the diabetic area of healthcare does that. Slap a needle on, use it till the pen is dead, pitch it, and grab another pen and needle.
Further to that end, this morning I noticed when pricing cartridges on a diabetic supplies website, their "package" deal was 10 carts, and, surprise, 10 needles.
Maybe this guy is on to something?
Still a tool, though.
