[QUOTE="Sugar High, post: 2022971, member: 502413"] Now how am I going to get that image out of my head. :bag: :yuck: My mother taught me not to pee on my hands! :D I'm only killing those that happen to be on that one finger tip. I can't imagine that that would upset any microscopic ecosystem. I sure their neighbors repopulate within minutes. It's not about skewing the test. It was the alcohol that I was worried might be doing that. I also reuse the lancet for weeks, but I dip it in alcohol before most uses. I've never had a serious infection, either, but I have had a sore finger for several days. That has stopped since I started using the alcohol. I can't have sore fingers when I perform Rachmaninoff at Carnegie Hall! o_O [/QUOTE]
