I dropped my syringe (while I was priming it to get leftover test out of the needle) with open needle cap to the ground, then changed needle and injected. I assume thats fine right? Or should the syringe be also discarded?

Just wondering, how could it impact me since I changed the needle? Does air somehow get into the syringe through the needle? Also I was priming the syringe so I draw air after changing the dirty needle to get oil which was stuck at the syringe tip into the syringe.You’ll live, but realistically sometimes it’s worth taking the loss rather than the risk.
Haha "Damn it, dropped my toast jelly side down right on my dog's deuce! F@$% it, 2 second rule!"Did it fall into a pile of filth? If you dropped it in the toilet or onto a dog turd, replace it. If you're just butter fingers and it hit a mostly clean floor, change the needle and go. Don't drop it anymore.
You have a unique sense of humor.One of my homies dropped a insulin in the sink hole and still pinned.
Few days later he got a big lump and he made a hole in it with a needle, then some shit came floating out which he squeezed out.
Everything was fine after!
Moral of the story is trust in your body. Your body is capable of protecting you from anything throwed against you.
Saving that 5€ worth of oil and 10 cent needle was definitly worth the risk of losing a arm.
Easy way to get around that by changing your process. After drawing, pull air. I always swap a fresh needle on the syringe after drawing out of the vial. The needle being razor sharp makes pinning a breeze, and is worth the $0.10.Just wondering, how could it impact me since I changed the needle?

Sorry I was referring to just in general, there may be times where it might be best to just toss it.Just wondering, how could it impact me since I changed the needle?
