What should I do if I find a needle?

Wash the area with soap and water and get medical care right away. Call 911 in an emergency, or Poison Control with exposure questions. Tell the doctor what happened and where the needle was found, if you know. Do not wait to see whether symptoms appear.
How are the needles disposed of?
Sealed, puncture-resistant containers are hauled as regulated medical waste to a facility that treats it. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Ask the team how its waste is hauled and request a record.
