A member asked:

What would happen if you reuse a non sterile syringe multiple times ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Infection: If others have used it transmission of disease is the biggest concern. In addition to transmission of disease is introducing bacteria to the bloodstream resulting in positive blood cultures and possible infection that could cause sepsis. If you have no option in using a new syringe foe your medications. At least boil it to decrease chances of bad things happening.
