Cig lighter for needle sterilization, or only alcohol lamp?
    #6786173 - 04/14/07 08:26 AM (16 years, 11 months ago)

Would a cig lighter flame be okay to sterilize the needle before innocluation?

That's what I've used, without any problems. Many people also recommend a rag or paper towel with some alcoholic cleaner on it to wipe the needle between jars.

Raoul Duke: What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole lifestyle that he helped create - a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the acid culture: the desperate assumption that somebody, or at least some force, is tending the light at the end of the tunnel.

any flame will do. The reason people shy away from butane lighters is the soot that it deposits on the needle. Alcohol lamps are cleaner. I just use a lighter and wipe with alcohol. It really doesn't matter too much.
