Druggies are going into public restrooms to shoot up. And cleaning their needles by removing the covers on the toilet paper dispensers and sticking their used needles in the toilet paper to clean the blood off. Then putting the covers back on before they leave. It only takes a tiny drop of blood to transmit hepatitis. This warning was issued by a Walmart employee, story on Daily Mail. The employee suggested that people bring their own tissue to use.
Frightening. Some cities are having contentious discussions over free clean needle distribution. The pros claim it’s for the safety of all, the nays say it makes the city accessories to the crimes.
3 year old urban legend. There is not enough blood left on needles to make these marks, and no reason to clean a needle you're not going to reuse. If a junkie wants to preserve the sharpness of a needle for reuse, which dulls more and more with each use, they would never dull it further by forcing it through tightly rolled paper. They use cold water to save wear and tear
There's a couple of supermarkets near me. The smaller one has had the one unisex toilet permanetly closed as an alcoholic woman would sit in there for ages drinking vodka. She also frequents the larger supermarket where there are several toilets for each sex. They have had to ban her as there has been broken glass and also an elderly lady put her foot on the bottle and it rolled throwing her off balance and broke her hip. So now this woman sits in the park and crouches down in full public view pissing on the lawn.
