IS it possible for syringes to become contaminated with poisonous bacteria / fungus
    #15915449 - 03/07/12 06:26 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

I have some syringes from about 5 years ago.  I ordered them from Ralphsters.  I know they were 100% perfectly fine when I got them.

My question is:  Can they become contaminated with something that could possibly make someone sick / die?  I'm not interested in asking if they will still work, just if they can become dangerous.  I plan on giving them all to a friend, but I will not if it has any chance of making someone sick.

some are open, some are not.  They have very thin lines with the consistency of small amounts of snot in water.  One has a very small dark brownish thing floating in it.  IT's about 3-4 times bigger than the small black specs I'm used to seeing.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

The worst that will happen is his jars contaminate.

Unless he injects them into his arm he won't get sick.


The brown blob is probably a clump of spores.

The syringe with the stringy stuff probably had the spores germinate already.  After five years the myc is probably dead.


Only way to find out would be to inoculate something and see what grows.

Dry prints can work after that long.  Spores in water don't have a very good chance I believe.

Just tell him to toss any jars that turn nasty.

If mushrooms do grow they'll be fine.

Thank you for the response.

I was just wondering if they might grow some sort of mushroom he might mistake as a good edible one.  I thought it was unlikely, but I wanted to be 100% sure.
