For children requiring home medical care involving needles, such as insulin injections or other treatments, follow these guidelines:
1. Home Sharps Containers: Use FDA-approved sharps containers available at pharmacies or online. 2. Community Disposal Programs: Utilize community needle disposal programs or drop-off sites. 3. Mail-Back Programs: Some services allow families to mail back used sharps in special containers. 4. Never Use Household Containers: Avoid using household containers like plastic bottles or jugs for needle disposal.
