Thanks everyone for your responses and concern.
Maybe someone was using it for another purpose besides drugs? (wishful thinking, I know). I use those kind of syringes sometimes to feed my bottle babies.
Oh, Aly I wish. I know what you mean about the ones used at home, I have one too, to give Bob liquid medicine, but my previous experience of finding these things leaves me with no doubt that one is/was used for injecting purposes.
That's horrible! I know those people may not be of sound mind while they are getting high...but is there no other place to do that? A field? Jeeesh!
Kelly, sadly, the people who use the stuff have no other thought except how to satisfy their craving, some people around here have even found used needles in their gardens!
Would it be worth having a word with the local police? Maybe some sort of watch could be kept on the field concerned. At least if the users know there could be a police presence it might make them keep away.
Good idea Lynne, but the police are already aware of the problem, and the sad fact is that it is almost impossible to fully police this particular field, or indeed the area for drug users. Though I will say the police are making some inroads in the drug situation in general with detection and arrest numbers increasing. But I doubt that we will ever get rid of illegal drugs and the problems they bring, either here in Wales, in the UK, or indeed any country, anywhere. JMO
Bob may have a future as a drug sniffing dog. What do you think?
Pam, you could be right!


Well, I never tried again to check anything about the health risks, I `ve gave it some thought and decided that we, Bob and I, will most likely be ok. And if by any chance we will not, worrying about it will do no good!
Thanks once again for your thoughts and concern, it means a lot.

Chris & Bob.
