[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2109587, member: 223921"] "prolonged use of white vinegar or hydrgoen peroxide may also result in hardening of skin." This of course is true and vinegar if used as a disinfectant on skin should always be used in the dilute form as pure vinegar can cause a burn on very sensitive skin. I use non alcohol wipes some times when unable to wash hands prior to testing If lancets are used once only this can reduce risk of infection also. I too am very vulnerable where infections are concerned as have suppressed immune system and most antibiotics are not available to me. Though I don't inject. Have you considered something like Antimicrobial Skin Cleanser as used by surgeons.
