This is not completely true.  A needle must be
dipped in and filled with Bleach for ten seconds
before the virus existing in any residual fluids
is neutralized (or treated otherwise).  Let's not
forget that there are other diseases in needles
as well. (hepatitis, etc.)  As far as the rumor,
yes, it is an urban myth, don't worry about it.

Be careful if you find a bag or clothes, reaching
into these things is where people actually get
pricked.  Police/Fire take most of the brunt of
this.  But, even if you are poked, and even if
the needle does carry disease, you still stand a
good chance of being OK.  Either way, there is no
disease in Devachan.

FEAR NOTHING, LOVE ALL and never forget ALL IS
