Rejected by the Vampires
Posted in farming, Uncategorized on 10/13/2006 04:19 am by StephenOn Tuesday I went to give blood, but they would not take it!
I had to check the little box for “needle stick injury,” which I incurred while vaccinating Oak a few weeks ago. ‘Needle-stick from animal’ was not in their book, but they decided to give me a 6-month exclusion anyway. You know, to see if I develop alpaca cooties or something.
At least I stuck myself with a 5-in-1 contaminated needle (killed clostridial vaccines), and not a Johnes-vaccine needle, which uses a live vaccine and apparently leads to all sorts of fun necrosis issues after a needle stick. Yum!
