[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 409180, member: 55568"] The standard advice given to nurses taking capilliary blood samples for a number of tests is to pull, not squeeze. Press down and pull away from the puncture. Wipe the first drop clean and then do it again. If you squeeze you get contamination from other fluids.
