Anyone know where I can buy one? I need a small one like people use to inject insulin. The pharmacist at CVS looked at me like a drug addict when I asked to buy one. I want to inject lemon juice/vinager into button polyps.
 
you can buy them off the shelf at cvs/walgreens but id just ask a different pharmacist and tell them you had one for your kids medicine and it got lost or broken. they should give you a couple
 
I just explained that I needed it to inject my nuisance anemones to my walgreens pharmacist and they sold me one for .25. Granted I am in Plymouth. They were very intrigued.
 
Also, check the dairy isle at Fleet Farm near the injectible antibiotics. I know they have 3 cc up to 20 or 50 cc, not sure about 1 cc tuberculin syringes there. I use to get them at the Cub Pharmacy all the time or you can also try on line here http://www.saveritemedical.com/prod...ge-only.html?gclid=CIjjxb7Y3rMCFStgMgodHxgA5g. But a 3 cc from FF should be just fine. You can also get needles there as well. Get a 25 G needle, and it won't make such a big hole so not much will leak out (and you also won't be able to inject that fast either). I have a box of tuberculin syringes somewhere in the house, but I'll be darn if I know where they are :gay1:

Or you could just give those button polyps a new home, I know several people on here would love to have them, what color are they?

If you're not a drug addict, just tell them exactly why you need them. They're cheap. I've bought from 2 different pharmacies on 2 different occasions. (both for reef purposes and both times they actually took the time to help me decide what I needed!!)
 
Needed some of these once upon a time for aiptasia. they looked at me like a drug addict too at CVS, but I explained that I needed it to inject lemon juice into a pest anemone in my fish tank. Then they looked at me like I was crazy. But after pushing her they sold me the needles. Some places I think it would be much easier to have told them I was a drug addict and needed clean needles.
