Do you reuse syringes?

I'm curious if you Guys reuse your syringes, not the needles, but the syringe. If so, how do you make them sterile again?

Never. Not worth the risk of infection to me. Also they are cheap as hell so why not load up on them so you will never need to reuse.

They are cheap. I get them from a farming store outside of town. When I buy a lot I get looks. A friend got turned away... They are cheap though, I'll just go back and try to get some more.

Lol hell no.

Price of 100 syringes $30
Price of getting an abscess cut out $ I don't know because I spend the little extra cash on prep pads and new pins

Best answer right here I've had abscesses cut out if both my arms from some bunk shit years ago. Its no fun to tell u that much I had infection from the same stuff in the exact same spot on both shoulders spend the extra money now and you won't have to worry about medical bills later. I'm pretty sure there's a sponsor on here or maybe its professional muscle you can get em at.
Best of luck

I'll reuse a syringe to back fill slin pins but that's about it. Would never reuse a pin I stuck in myself.

I thought about reusing to back fill, too.

I have tried, but I can't bring myself even to do this. I'm super paranoid about infection. What touched what, what's floating in the air, idk.

It's almost ridiculous, but I have never had an infection after hundreds of jabs, so ill just keep on like this.

To the OP: not recommended to reuse anything!

Do you know an animal needle is not as sharp as one for
humans? They are a lesser grade because last time i knew my quaterhorse couldnt talk and say ouch...i did see a cow talk but that was from specialty mushroom tea..

No means no..dont rape a used needle with a gang poke.

If you can't afford new syringes for every one time use no matter how many times a day you inject, you can't afford to be on gear

No, not only a possible infection. Also, after the first time you use that pin it gets dull. So why suffer with a dull pin that you have to hammer in? That leave more scar tissue as well.

I get a box of 100 BD brand 22ga 1" needles with 3cc syringes for about $12 at Sam's Club. That's 12 cents per syringe. When I notice my box of syringes is getting low, I just call em up and the pharmacist orders me another box, and I just pick them up when I go to buy my groceries.

Why take a chance to save .12 cents?

In a pinch, you can go to tractor supply company (if there's one in your area) and get the vet grade syringes and needles, but they are more expensive. They are hanging up in a display over by the horse and cow vet supplies. Still, a lot better than reusing.
