How do you steralize a needle?

Question

Ima stick a sewing a needle through my eye brow.

I wanna steralize it.

So there is that question.

And any advise?

Like what should i clear the hole with?

And should i do it daily?

Answer 1

im assuming your piercing your eyebrow?

hold the needle over a flame, ice the area, clamp it, wash with Dial soap multiple times daily(dial is the best, unscented, not the one that turns into foam or any of that c**p, just plain old dial. purell just moves the bacteria around don't use it.)

if its reddish/looks infected buy some sea salt from a supermarket and cotton balls. mix the sea salt with water, soak cotton ball and apply to area for a few minuted move the bar around a bit. if your eyelid starts turning red/brown/ anything other than what it should be take out the piercing.

Answer 2

i would highly suggest to not do this because you could easily puncture your eye, or get an infection so bad you lose your eyebrow. but it's you decision so i would suggest heating the flame to a high temperature, then submerging in in rubbing alcohol.  

Answer 3

Firstly, I strongly discourage you from engaging in this practice.

If you're going to engage in this practice, a rational strategy for sterlilization of the instruments would be to use an autoclave to raise the temperature of the chamber to about 121 degree Centrigrade for at least 20 minutes.  Once the instrument is sterilized, use sterile technique in its use.

Again, by engaging in this sort of thing without adequate expertise, it's foolish and potentially catastrophic.  I don't advocate this activity in any way.

Answer 4

First of all, you're not going to be able to steralize a sewing needle.  They are not made of materials meant for steralization. You will wind up with an infection, and think of how disfigured your face will be when you have to have it lanced & drained, possibly having to have the rotted & infected flesh cut away!  Secondly, if you are planning on piercing your eyebrow, a sewing needle is no where near the guage you need to fit jewelry into the hole you create.  If you feel so compelled to have your eyebrow pierced, go to a legit piercer (one who has an autoclave).  If your parents don't want to authorize the piercing, tell them that you plan on doing it yourself if they don't take you to someone who can do it right.  I'm sure they'd rather have the lesser of evils!

Answer 5

You're really asking for an infection, a grounding, and god I hope you get both bad enough to not do this sort of thing again.
