Good news for me. Researchers in Cardiff, Wales have successfully tested micro-needle arrays as a potential replacement for traditional hypodermic needles. The micro-needles are specifically designed to avoid pain receptors and blood vessels, providing for a safer and less painful injection. Previously, being stuck with a needle sent me into a screaming, Hulk-like rage. Maybe now I'll finally be able to give blood or receive that chickenpox vaccine I've been itching for.
