I'm surprised at that - I'm pretty sure that people who need to inject
stuff (eg insulin dependent diabetics) have no trouble getting them.

Didn't have a problem getting a box of swabs when I first got
diagnosed. IPA
based IIRC.

Not that I ever use them - very quickly discovered there was little point.

There is no point using them prior to injection, but they are very useful for:

cleaning spectacle lenses

restarting reluctant ballpoint pens

removing ballpoint ink stains

cleaning computer monitor screens

wiping newly pierced ears etc, etc, etc.

I must get some more soon...
