Will There Be Chances Of Getting Infected Due To A Pin Inserted Into Arm?
Yesterday I was drinking alcohol and I got involved with sum friends that were shooting drugs and so I join in and it wasn't my first time. Here as I was pulling out the needle the entire tip came off and its still in my arm I was so scared that I didn't go in yet to get it out. Is it serious and can I die if it isn't removed?
