[QUOTE="twabscs, post: 248664, member: 2004"] Hi All, Today I was working my calves getting ready for weaning. I gave a shot of Alpha-7 to each calf and a shot of BarVac CDT for the bulls getting banded. When I was cleaning up the syringes, I stuck myself (I was worn out) with (I think) the Alpha-7 needle (still attached to Allflex repeater). It went pretty deep into the side of my thumb (18 gauge, 3/4") and it bled significantly. I'm sure there was some residual Alpha-7 and who knows what else on the needle. I've read the label and it says this: "Accidental injection to humans can cause serious local reactions. Contact a physician immediately if accidental injection occurs." There really wasn't an injection just some residue on the needle. So, should I? 1) Go to the emergency room 2) Call my doctor tomorrow 3) Not worry about it. I feel okay and the thumb feels okay too. It stung quite a bit at first, but subsided after I cleaned it good with soapy water. In any case, be careful out there!! Thanks [/QUOTE]
