today i have these shot thingys for a pet, and one of the shots which had medicine had been pushed, and all the medicine went into the cap (that is over the needle for protection) and i was trying to pull out the shot out of the cap so i could suck the stuff back into the needle but it wouldnt come out, so i pulled hard and it came out the needle poked my finger, and that needle had medicine on it, so i squeezed my finger, and it bled, and i rinsed it off and put hydrogine poroxide on it, and not one bubble came out, but it bled so i put a bandaid on it.
now this was an animals shot, NOT USED at all yet,
later after that, my fingers and hand tingled and ached, and now they feel fine, i had no other effedts, i ate and nothing happend or anything, everything normal, but i was told that the stuff on the needle was animal pain medicine, and im wandering will it do anything bad to me later on???
cuz all that happend was tingling and aches, but now its gone, is everything gonna be okay???

Since the syringe hadn't been used yet (still sterile) there shouldn't be any infection risk. Also, I can't believe that the tiny bit of medicine that might have gotten injected from a needle prick would cause any major problem for a person. A lot of the animal medicine is similar to people's medicine anyway. Just be glad you weren't working with ebola virus or something like that!

The tingling and numbness may have come from your being frightened and hyperventilating. Now that you are calm it has stopped. I'm not even gonna ask why you had animal pain meds in a syringe.

your probably fine seeing how it was an unused needle and it's supposed to be a pain medicine.You can call the poison control hotline or wait and call a Dr. or a Vetrinarian

more than likely only a microscopic amount got into your system if anything at all... i would not be worried about it, unless you started having an allergic reaction to it... if you are still worried about it, get the name of the drug and call the poison control hotline at 1-800-222-1222 explain to them what happened...
