Injection problems

[_I9va5n_]

While I was prepping my injection today, I havepunctured my finger with the needle when I was taking off the capright before the injection. I have replaced the needle with anotherone, and did the injection, but if I did not have this needle, wouldit be ok to inject the needle with my own blood? I mean, perhapsthere could be some contamination, or something..

Yes at the end of the day it's yours if this happens again wipe the needle with an alcohol swipe and leave for a bit before injecting. But it's good practice to change needles

i've done that before..

people are way too paranoid when it comes to this stuff. the only problem i see is if the needle got dull. then i would be worried

Since you did not sanitize your hands prior to the injection, there could possibly be some contamination from touch the needle tip to your hand so I WOULD NOT use that needle to do your injection.

It's always better to be safe then sorry. You always want to keep things 100% sanitary when doing injections. Otherwise you could develop a serious infection.

If your finger wasn't dirty, I would not be worried - it is your own blood, and when you do aspiration, you also get your blood out first, and then back again. So this is not a problem - the only thing is the sterility - if everything is clean, there is nothing to worry about.

You would be fine. All it could possible do is slightly dull the needle.
