il.com actually, for my sharps, lancets, needle caps and such, I use either
an old vinegar bottle or an old bleach bottle. Once I have it full, I take
my husbands superglue from downstairs and swish it around the. Then I slept
the On the bottle and nobody can get it open. Because by then, it's glues
shot.
