Is this Safe????

Question

I have horse needles and syringes ( how ever you spell it) and they have been used. would it be safe to reuse them if i soak them in rubbing alchohol to steralize them or is that to risky?

Answer 1

Needles are cheep!!! Why take the chance? Is your horse not worth it??

Answer 2

It isn't safe, because it will cause pain to the horse,  as far a safe for disease if it is the same horse, it won't be problem.  The needle becomes less sharp and forms small burrs each time it is used, so the more it is used the more painful it is when it punctures the skin because it is less sharp.

Answer 3

too risky. just get new ones

Answer 4

that would be way too risky. place them in a sharps container as they are a biohazard. not all diseases can be removed through alcohol and there can even be a risk of hiv/aids....please do not use them.

Answer 5

Please don't use them it is too risky. Treat your horses like you would treat yourself.  It's very important for their health and yours.  If you need to ask this question you don't know enough to continue care.  Please educate.

There's a spell check option available.  Use it.

Answer 6

It is good for the horse if you soak the needle in lemon juice before injecting again. The horse may squirm a bit but this is normal. If you pour some vinegar over the injected area it is said to ease the pain quicker.

Also, it has been found that if you get some of your blood and a little bit of your ovary into the syringe and then inject it into your horses nipple or ball sack it increases its strength.
