Why do I never see people testing their blood or injecting?

[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 669514, member: 30007"] I have always been very public about injecting. If women can breast feed children in restaurants, why shouldn't we inject ourselves. I admit to dramatising it a little and making a bit more of a show. I've been challenged once, with a comment along the lines of "How disgusting". They got a mouthful back. But if you consider how many people actually inject in the UK, (421,300 in 2010 - read this story [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-26065673[/url]) and consider that a fair proportion of these will be using only long acting (lets say half), then 210,000 people out of 63,000,000 is a tiny proportion who might be bolussing in a restaurant. Roughly a third of a percentage. Put another way, in a town the size of Liverpool, that's 1400 people, or in the UK as a whole, that is a total that is less than the population of Liverpool. That's why you don't see it that often! [/QUOTE]
