Why do bal (british anti lewisite) needles feel so painful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BAL Injections: BAL,( dimericaprol) injections are indeed painful. The reason being is that due to solubility problems, the BAL is not water soluble and the manufacturing process requires that it be suspended in a thick peanut oil which must be injected using a large bore needle. The large bore needle and the viscosity of the BAL are what causes most of the pain.
