Pokes be gone


How cool would it be if someone figured out a way to deliver drugs that were normally injected with a needle through an inhaler instead? I wasn't aware but professional needle use among medical workers leads to 385,000 injuries per year and causing spread of diseases such as Hepatitis and HIV. Those are just the reported numbers, which are estimated to be only about 1/2 of the total number of needle related injuries. Scientists are working on several alteratives now, though it seems mainstream medicine downplays the significance of this, much to the surprise of absolutely noone.
