Oh okay, I didn't know it'd last that long both in dosage or shelf life, that's cool
yeah its really neat if you're into that sort of thing (linky)
surprisingly easy to do yourself. If the linked post is to be believed 120+C is overkill, and just doing boiling water is much easier and self-limiting in temperature (I believe her but
)
And the shelf life is aided by adding a bit of preservative like benzyl alcohol
Either way imo absolutely do not sterilize an injection drug by just boiling water, and that includes like all the tools used to inject obviously
Im drunk r/n and haven't been in school for a decade but if i wanted to sterilize a needle i'd dip it in isopropyl alcohol and light it on fire. That was how we sterilized glass stirrers in my microbiology classes at least so i think it'd work okay for steel needles (uhhh idk what needles are made of maybe check that)
I mean pretty much everyone I've seen just uses one-time-use pre-sterilized needles to inject. Insulin needles are easy to get. I'm assuming that part is safe, if not we owe diabetics a huge apology.
Fire would not be a great idea, I think it would be likely to leave residue on the needle depending on the flame source, potentially mess up the heat treatment of the metal, etc. And thankfully not a concern with pre-sterilized needles.
I think also we might have used straight ethanol but that felt wrong because there are a lot of weird tax/legal implications/students could have drank it/etc etc, but I think isopropyl might leave residue, idk
my b I don't really inject things because I don't like needles and did not think to realize that they would come pre-sterilized and not also be part of a DIY thing. That's p. dumb of me u_u
