reusing pins is overly fear mongered

[Chm]

if you consider it really only went in the vial you drew from and you, with sterile technique, it should be relatively safe to reuse. (not that i ever would) but its not like you just picked it up on the street

especially convenient when people preload multiple doses of peptides into an insulin pin and travel with it, to take partial doses at times and not have to carry any vials

The moment a needle pierces skin, it’s no longer sterile. You can introduce bacteria into the vial itself, contaminating the medication. This is exactly how people end up with conditions like Cellulitis, Abscess and even Sepsis. Microscopic bacteria can stick to the needle instantly and bacteria multiply fast in the right conditions. Your skin is never sterile even if you clean it so basically next time you use it, you’re injecting whatever grew in there.

yes i understand but in practice ts never happens, tweakers reuse them for months and I've heard tanner tattered address the strategy of multi doses from a single pin for travel

so basically what ur saying is "Some people do risky things and survive" JFL. People who inject drugs get infections all the time, It’s just not always visible. things like : abscess, cellulitis, hepatitis c and hiv/aids are very common tho barely anyone talks about it. You are using the surviorship bias here while not looking into those who got infected, tho who needed antibiotics due to infection and those who stopped because something went wrong. You are using the same logic as "Some people smoke and live long, so smoking isn’t risky". People also drive drunk and make it home sometimes. That doesn’t make it safe. Reusing needles is a known infection risk, and ‘I’ve seen it work’ or tanner tattered saying that isn’t evidence, it’s survivorship bias.

This can unironically kill you. It’s not fear mongering it’s just being safe and sanitary
