Hey Bro, Some advice if blood shot across the room that tells me that you were not ready with your cotton swab. I place the cotton swabs with a little alcohol on it right aginst the needle before I pull out pushing down with a little bit of presure then pull the neelde out quicky. The reason for this is by pushing down with the cotton swab insted of your fingers you are making the area more sanitary. You have been touching the outside if the vial the out side of the syringe wraper and who knows what else. Also pushing down alows the needle too come out easier so there will not be any tearing or as much trama to the skin. Oh and also less expsure to the bacteria in the air that can cause surface infection at least intill the site has started to seal(quits bleeding). Oh and of course to catch the blood and keep you from haveing to clean up a big ass mess as well as stoping the bleeding quicker. Hope this helps bro
