This is a fabulous image of what a needletip looks like after reuse. Imagine that needle goin' in time and time and time again. Some of the syringes we picked up over by Mono were in baaad shape ... can only imagine how many times they were used. The thing is this: the more times a needle is used, the more thrashed it gets, the greater the chances of other problems such as abcesses and vein trauma, the more pressure is put on the system to treat, and the more chances exist for disease to spread. The list of reasons for sterile syringe access goes on.....
