Fuck the bleach!!

Grab some alcohol and rinse well with water.

Be sure to dip the whole needle into the alcohol.

Jam.

Soak it in 99% isopropanol and then take it out and light it on fire. If it is a question of transmissible disease like hep C or HIV, just get a new one. The alcohol soak/flame will clean up a needle you've had sitting around that only you have used.

Unless you've got a real syringe, throw that fucker away! Single use disposable 50s are just that.

unopened pack comes steril, if not in a pack check melt marks for and aft.this will tell if its a unopened rig and clean , or a used an abused rig, all needles for insulin have the tip cover melted together to prevent it from comming off, same with the plung cover to the rear. also a new rig is never fully pushed in, it has a cc or 2 of empty space and is set this way. moven the plunger breaks this set rubber in barrel.

stick with bleach ( swim delutes it a bit with dist h2o), as swims had alcohol seize his rigs.causes rubber to swell.
