I don't know how many times you would have had pin pricks in the last 12 years and you might have indulged in some other vices too.
So why suddenly after 12 years you thought that you should blame that needle which was used 12 years earlier by some one about whom you don't even know whether he is alive or not.
Please be more realistic.
