2 Things, while shooting Meth:
1: I never in my life licked the needle, idiocy, but when my rig is ready, the last thing I do is dip it in my water supply to rinse off any Meth off the needle.
2: I have considered this, but not implemented it-I am considering pulling a tiny amount of blood back into the needle a tick or two post completion, then withdrawing, purpose being not allowing any meth leakage outside the vein during removal. Thoughts?
I totally agree with you about licking the end of a spike way to much bacteria in the mouth. .. can you say infection. ... as fr pulling bak a bit of blood to withdraw without leakage miss I think dnt do it personally its just more movement inside the vein causing unnecessary scarring.apply pressure either by the alcohol swab or cotton wool ball, toilet paper etc. On withdrawal and inject slowly decreases chances of blowback.[/QUOTE]
When I shoot it, I always use a 0.2um micron filter first to filter the solution, and then I dip the tip of my 29ga 1cc in some isopropyl alcohol 99% USP grade, flick it, and assume it's evaporated by the time I'm breaking skin, and if there's any burning, I can attribute it to the sanitizing / antibiotic effects induced by the trace amounts of isopropyl alcohol.
I always register, but it only takes me a couple of seconds to hit a vein, and I hold the syringe very still and minimize any movement, register once, then one-two-three iso-swab, needle in biohazard box, *cough cough* methamphetamine rushing hard. Then apply a Q-Tip dipped in isopropyl and hydrogen peroxide (I like feeling the bubbles and know that it's killing germs, nor do I find the mild sting of alcohol to be 'too much') and apply pressure for 60 seconds. Then I put on some triple anti-biotic topical cream over the IV-site, and keep pressure on it for a few more minutes.
