[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 972842, member: 84857"] Managed to extract five needles from sharps box with aid of tweezers to cover until we get home....bit of a tricky task but no joy at local pharmacy or local clinic earlier.......potential to get in main city Espargos (approx 10 miles away) or from hospital (also in main city) but doesn't seem worth it for three days left of holiday.....travel rep did suggest sterilising in boiling water but not sure that is strictly necessary ....have saved sealed needle for use on flight home... .....more concerned about state of potentially infected toe than fact he has run out of needles........:( [/QUOTE]
