I'm gonna touch base with my mum's gp - now that we live around the corner from her! I've seen her a couple of times before - like I said - we never have a need for a doctor, so I just don't really have one! I'll talk to her about the needles, and check out the processes of separating it. If it's not an option, Fletches alternative sounds good to me, just to separate the actual needles, as opposed to the actual diseases.

I'm still debating the chickenpox one. I'd prefer him to have chickenpox as a kid, me & my bro had it as teenagers and it was hell! LOL. Not that we were vaccinated - just took us that long to get it! I had mumps as a kid too. Don't really remember it. I know mumps is a bad one for grown men too.
