Sticking yourself twice with the same needle ?

[pittsburgh*]

infection yes and pain yes...each time you insert the needle gets numbed down..pins are cheap....

If you have a dosage that you want to spread out over two injection sites. Is it ok "sterility-wise" to put the entire dose into a single syringe and then shoot half the amount in each inection site, (assuming that you swab both sites with alchohol before injecting and you don't touch the needle to anything between injections)?

Or is this just asking for an infection to do this?

 

[Silent Method]

A needle used twice without being sterilized is not sterile.

This does not mean you will get an infection, but it certainly ups the probability.

don't do that -- abscesses ..... needles are the cheapest part of gear and legit in full

yea first time i shot, i stuck the same pin in 3 times, all the way in, i almost passed out first time, second time i was shaking and almost blacked out, then I finally got the guts to give it one more try and shot it all in, this was all in about a 15min time frame

I did it a couple of times during my pgf2a "experiment", but wouldn't do it again; IM is riskier than SC, but I still wouldn't risk it. Plus, after drawing with a cheap ass slin pin that was 3 pokes; I could've just used a fork and squirted it in...

It'll hurt more the second time due to the needle being duller.

are you one of those guys who doesn't wash their hands after they poop???? use another pin, you'll be much safer down the road....

this is one area you don't want to skimp on bro, use a new needle everytime. Just buy a bunch of them so you aren't worried about running out.

If you're doing spot injections just load up two points. Why run the risk of an injection if you don't have to? Like was said earlier, points are cheap.
