When Alice was two she picked up a used syringe in the Aldi carpark, and pricked her finger. The Children’s Hospital always send out the Head of Pedeatrics to speak with the parents. He said it happens twice a week. Every time a kid picks up a syringe. Without exception. He assured us that no one ever got an infectious disease from a needle stick injury. He had a student do their thesis on it, and they could not find a single case.
