Hello.
I'm writing this information leaflet for my local needle exchange which I hope at least someone will circulate around. I haven't been a regular visitor there for a long time but I was amazed at the lack of available HR information. Offering only "don't do it"-type information is, IMO, a problem. Many people around here inject pills without any kind of filtering, even though exchanges hand out LOTS of Sterifilt filters. Not to mention that most people learn their injecting techniques from friends and often have bad technique, use the same injection sites over again, or have absolutely no clue about sterility.
I am looking for a map of veins on the arm, especially one that shows the veins most likely to be prominently visible/easiest to access on most people. I know everyone has a different vein configuration but a clear picture would be great to have. I have of course Googled extensively and found some potential candidates but I think it's possible to do better. The best would be a picture of an arm with prominent veins with explanations as to what is what.
In any case, if anyone knows of such a picture, please let me know in this thread. Or if somebody possesses such an arm and wouldn't mind terribly taking a high res picture of it, it would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
