Also the hole in the end of a needle is called the bevel and it traps some of whatever was last used in it and is hard to clean out. This would mean if you reuse needles you could get blood poisoning from the junk that was left in the bevel. Blood poisoning is called septicemia and it will surely kill you in a slow painful way…………Judy |
That’s true Judy. But people who inject drugs will inject drugs, regardless of what we say / do. When people are like that, I think it’s best to push harm minimisation – ie: reminding people to use clean needles at all times, micron filters, safe needle disposal, overdose prevention. Even though I disagree with what shilo is doing to himself, I’d rather he came through addiction with the least damage possible so he can better enjoy his life of recovery.
