Hello Mr or Mrs Parmacien I have a friend who called me in a panic this morning because she was bleeding in two places on her left ear. She thinks she was pricked by one or two syringes in the middle of the night. Thank you

Hello,

I'm not sure I understand your question. How could she have been injected with needles?
30-year-old woman · 7 years ago
She went to bed and said she had blood and two needle marks.

She lives near the city center

Is it possible to be stuck with a syringe or to be pricked by a drug addict on the left ear on the side of the ear and backwards

The only thing I know for sure is that nothing is impossible. If she thinks she may have been pricked by a dirty needle, she should go to the emergency room and tell the doctor who will see her. Together they will decide what action to take (some cases require medication to prevent infection).

So you think there would be a great risk of contamination.

Prick yourself with a dirty needle does indeed bring a risk of contamination. A quick treatment is necessary. In the case of your friend, I am not in a position to assess whether she has actually been pricked. As a preventive measure, I recommend that she goes for a consultation.
