HOLY SHIT. please help me, tell me if i fucked up
    #9086095 - 10/16/08 11:31 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

i just got my syringe today

i took it out of its bubble wrap, and it had a metal needle that came along with it but was closed off with a blue plastic cap. i took the plastic cap off to look at it.

i just realized that by doing that im exposing it to air.

do you think its contaminated?

and how am i supposed to put the metal needle on if id be risking contamination by taking the blue plastic piece off?

No, just flame the needle real well until red hot, and then you can put the cap back on.

You flame the needle everytime you take off the cap, or put back on the cap.

You also flame the needle in between every jar that you inoculate.

Then flame the needle before you put the cap back on.

but after i took the blue cap off, i could see into the syringe, it was totally exposed. there was also a little bubble sticking out of the syringe completely exposed. i didnt push the syringe or anything.

i just really don't want to have this contaminated.

So then you pulled the needle off... not the cap off the needle. I wouldnt throw it away, nothing is every guarenteed with this hobby and any chance you have you might as well take. Id knock up some :syringe: jars after reading some teks on how to do it right and find out. Just looking at it asking us wont really get you anywhere. :wink:

Way to paranoid. Put the needle on, flame it, squirt a lil bit out to cool the needle down (will also shove the exposed drop out), then inoculate.  The chances you contaminated your syringe are extreemly small.

Yah, you should be good. No reason not to try. Being clean is extremely important, but most people overdue it in practice. Nothing wrong with that though of course, but I'm very lenient in my sterilization techniques now that I've got it under my belt and I've yet to get many contams that wasn't expected.

ok...

so..let me just get this straight...my syringe should be ok. i put the blue cap back on, everything is ok with that

i took the needle out of its packaging too though. it comes in a removable plastic case, and it has a needle and it is attached to a pink "push on" cap where you attach to the syringe

since the needle itself is out, i will flame the needle first, but what about the pink part. should that be dipped in rubbing alcohol or something? wouldnt that be a risk?

stop being so paranoid. Just do it. If you fail, try again.thats what its going to come down to.

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol - or THC, the active chemical in weed - is in the same family of organic molecules as anandamide, a chemical found in the human brain that is associated with feelings of bliss such as those released during sex. So on a molecular level, getting laid and getting stoned aren't too different.

The needle should be sterile inside that package. Just take the needle out and pop it onto the syringe, toss it into a drawer and wait until you need to use it. You're over worrying, it's not that easy (generally) to contaminate things.

Look, it's incredibly simple. Put the needle on, cap it. When you want to use it, flame the needle just to be sure. Thats it.

I know the little blue cap you are talking about. You have to take it off in order to put the needle on right? Don't worry, shoot it up, flame sterilize the needle, inoculate right?

Just buy new syringes from a feed store. I get some monoject 12ccs, 18 guage needle, come with the cap, about 45cents a piece for the whole deal.

I think we're talking about different caps.  I buy my syringes from the feed store as well. what I'm trying to find is a little cap that goes on the loaded syringe to keep the liquid in.  The needle and "it's" cap are separate.
