I'm sorry, I could not resist. Glad you are OK.

deeper infirmity, whether drug induced or not.
Germs on the needle may be present; watch for infection.

enough to use. boy not only is it a mess but quite dangereous.

I accidentally poked myself with a needle with canon compatible photo balck ink.
What is this stuff made of anyway? Should I be concerned?

And you would know the possible reaction a body would have to unknown
chemical ingredients inside
Canon's cartridges. Ingredients which are
not listed on the box nor on any Canon website for quick antidote
reference in case of ink ingestion.
Moms and Dads, keep ALL empty cartridges away from toddlers who have a
habit of sticking everything they pick up in their mouths.

Don't compare apples to oranges. "Nospam" printed a phenomenal 34,858
pages; you've printed, what, a few hundred? . . . Of course, your
printer is still working. It won't die from imitating a paperweight.
MCheu said:A kit I bought about a year ago that consisted of 4 medical syringes,
4 *VERY* sharp needles that screwed into them, and 5 bottles of ink (2
blk + the 3 usual colours). The syringes were the size you'd expect
hospitals use to inject drugs into IV bags, and every bit as sharp as
you'd expect medical syringes to be. There were enough warnings that
I wasn't surprised at the sharpness, but I was very surprised that
anyone would assemble such a refill kit for sale, given these
lawyer-happy days.
To the original Poster: If you want to cover all your bases, in
addition to whatever you've already done for first aid, getting a
tetanus shot wouldn't be a bad idea.

Thanks.

Frank said:You'll never find out what the exact chemical composition is if it's an
oem ink. They'll never tell you. Maybe they themselves don't even know
seeing as how they only contract out the manufacturing of the ink to
their specifications and then relabel it for distribution.
You'd probably have better luck finding out the chemical composition
from an after market supplier
You sound like you think syringes are a controlled item. They are not
and are a common item in high school biology glass and absolutely
essential in many college biology class. Basic biology class often
involve drawing blood and blood typing.
Syringes are of course available in fairly large packages for insulin
injections in most any drug store. Larger sizes, 20 ml and 50 ml, may
require purchase from a scientific supply company.
There is no need to worry about tetanus, since kits would obviously
use newly manufactured needles and syringes. And if they sent used
needles, tetanus would be the least of your worries.
printed with oem ink & refilling.

If you actually meant it as written, how did you manage to score some
official Canon ink without the cartridges?
Taliesyn said:But a lovely diversion! And please don't insult my INOi, Tony - it's
not an "iPOD". iPODs are overpriced (don't know if they're overrated).
Mine's an "aftermarket" model (an INOi 20GB) like my inks!

The troll's run out of gas and insults (down to a dozen or so posts per
day from around 100 a few weeks back). He couldn't break my freedom of
choice for inks.
Four pallets? (Gulp!) That'll cost me at least $100 in aftermarket ink
to print, or $1,000,000 if I used OEM inks.
Thanks but I'll stick with my music interests for the time being and
just counter post Measekite once in a while for diversion, to keep him
in check and "honest" about what he posts.

worry. what a joke
