only got a hold of 1 syringe to draw up ref-b and pop them into gel caps. How can I keep it clean and sterile for about 6-8 weeks? IP: Logged |

guys... i have no choice... im down to 1 syringe with a dull needle on it & 1 spare needle for the second half of my cycle... i needle new syringes BAD!!! i just CANT get em now & im too far in my cycle... my question is... would a mosquito-bite-like bump surrounding the injection point which is very itchy sound like an infection to you? im gonna have to go to the doc! Another question which is probably the reason i might have an infection... im afraid to clean the needle with rubbing alcohol because way too many people told me alcohol kills all the juice... is that true?! Any help is greatly appreciated- thanks ------------------ IP: Logged |

Some have reported good results in preserving sterile conditions with either peroxide or alcohol. Considering how inexpensive syringes are and that you can purchase with just one phone call (anywhere in the USA) from KV VET Supply 100 syringes, 23-gauge, 1" or 1.5" needles for $18 including shipping, I certainly would recommend you buy monoject(single use) syringes. The KV Vet Supply company supplies precisely same human grade needles and syringes as those used in our local hospital. I took the last package I ordered from there and showed to the head nurse and walked away and came back with precisely same box from their supply cabinet. I have no financial link to KV Vet, just another customer. They take all credit cards and their phone number is 1-800-423-8211

I live in a coutry where there is hard to get needles so most people re-use them (both draw-up and inject needles). Put them in boiling water before you reuse them to make them sterile. I have done this many times (probably more than hundred) with no problems. But I would strongly recommend you to use sterile needles if you can find them since this method is not riskless. I re-use needles only when I cant find sterile ones. IP: Logged |

You can reuse a needle often if you follow a few proper sterility procedures. After the virgin needle is dipped, rinse the entire 3cc with alcohol. Then fill the needle cap full with alcohol and recap. place back into original package, a bagie and put in the frig.ive used these procedures over 12 years without incident. Trouble is when you xcross you dont want to take up a lot of space limiting gear amount. IP: Logged |

Go with a new one, since AIDS it's common sense to use a new sterile needle.

Bro It don't fucking matter, I used the same syringe and needle for 6 weeks to draw up ref b. Some people are fucking mental, use a new one each time? whatever. Keep the cap on it and you will be fine. Even if u did get some bacteria or something in, it doesn't matter cause your taking it orally. LP IP: Logged |

bump for blond_myth......I guess some of the bros minds were wandering or something..... if all your doing is drawing up ref-b for capsules , just reuse the same syringe and needle for as long as you want....just cap it when you are done each time..... IP: Logged |

Sorry, I'm one of those with a wandering mind, thought you meant that you had to re-use the same needle for injecting. As Capt'n_Crunch and the Blond myth said, you can re-use the same needle as many times as you want if you just refill ref-caps. IP: Logged |

thanks fellas, I feel more comfortable reusing now since I will only be using it to draw ref-b and inserting them into gel caps. I think some people got confused with reusing needles while injecting yourself. I agree in that case to use a new needle each time your injecting yourself. See ya. IP: Logged |

I use mine about 3-4 times each, after each use I suck alcohol in them and squirt it out. They do dull after a couple of uses, hurts more. Just make sure it is clean. ------------------ IP: Logged |
