Injecting - re-using syringes

[Ellis D.]

SWIM plans on usingnew needles each use but wondered if there are basic and easy steps tosanitizing a syringe well enough for it to be able to be used multiple times.

Yo what up wabbit... heroin helper has some instructions for bleaching syringes for continued use found here:

Of course one thing to be careful of with IVing coke is that it does
numb the surrounding nerves so a slightly dull needle can do a lot of
damage... so that same website has a tutorial on sharpening needles
here:

but once again like the guy mentions in the article, there are all
sorts of new risks associated with filing down the syringe (such as
getting metal filings in your blood-stream)... so like you said: just
use a new needle every (or almost every) time.

Ya just stick to using new ones all the time. Swim knows its a hard to rule follow when punching blow. Swim will sometimes reuse a dart in the same evening when he knows the clean ones wont last. Swim will rinse the dart 2 or 3 times with bottled water. If reused only once in the same evening, sanatation shouldnt be a problem. The needle does become dull, even after one use, and duller with each use after that. Anyways, try to use a clean one each time.

iv'ing drugs is usually not something that remains as sanitary as youd like...just try to use new pins each time to keep things kinda good...
