Suggest Remedies For A Needle Stick Injury
I recently stabbed myself with a needle while cleaning out the sharps draw at my boyfriends house. He used the needles for steroids a few months ago and one slipped as I was taking off the sharp end, the case came off and pricked my finger. Should I be okay or should I get checked for anything?
