A note about SI-safe disposal of sharps

Do the people that collect your rubbish a favour-they dont want to get cut by your sharps if a binbag slits open. So make sure you dispose of your blades, or whatever you use, carefully. Wrap them in newspaper, put them all in  aplastic bottle-then wrap the bottle, theres lots of ways to do this and minimise harm to yourself and others by doing so.

The easiest way is to get yourself a sharps bin, like they use in hospitals etc. You can get really small ones, that are easy to hide/cover up/decorate/ whatever and this is really the best way. They are inexpensive-i use one that has a cpacity of 1 litre (and it really small) and it costs less than £1. You can get them from your GP, or if your not keen on that, most chemists (ap;art from BOOTS in the UK for some reason) can order them in for you. Then all you have to do is seal it when its full, and return it to the chemist, or your GP when you need to dispose of it. And dont be shy aboput getting one from the chemist-people get them fro all kinds of reasons-diabetics, those who are injecting fertility drugs, people get them for their pets if they need injecting etc etc-they are a ton of reasons you might need one, and you really dont have to worry the pharmacist will think your a junkie, or you SI or whatever.

It also discourages you from re-using your sharps-DONT do this, because you can get really horrid painful infections from this, i kid you not. But if you use something that isnt disposable-make sure its clean, and been disenfected if you possibly can.

take lots of care
