Umpteen years of blood tests and nary a problem until this time. Sheesh -- but you're probably right. I'm confirming the horrors people already believed about needles.

Fortunately, I don't have such a problem and I have nice, easy veins for any vampires. Although, once while giving blood, I watched a nice arc of blood shoot out after I was pricked.
