Q: what would happen if a small amount of dissolved plastic resin were accidentally injected via a needlestick injury into the bloodstream?

: How small an amount? How did you manage to do that? However, a trace amount of plastic resin is not likely to have any lasting harmful effect. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
