Supposedly, we all learned to share in kindergarten. Sharing is caring, right? Well, not always. What your kindergarten teacher didn't mention is that some things should NEVER, under any circumstances whatsoever, be shared. NEVER. Case in point: needles. No matter what you are doing with needles - injecting insulin or hormones, having a botox party, getting a garage piercing/tattoo, or using illicit substances - do not share. Needles give nasty viruses, such as HIV and hepatitis, a free ride right into your blood stream. That kind of sharing is definitely not caring. If you or someone you know is at risk for sharing needles and doesn't have access to clean ones, inquire as to whether an organization in your community offers needle exchange programs. And remember, sometimes it's ok not to share.
