Very interesting.  I never would have thought this would be okay, but 
after reading the old threads on asd, I may just start reusing mine as 
well.  It wouldn't be about money, but about lessening my environmental 
impact just a little bit.

I'm new to all this so this may be a dumb question, but that's never 
stopped me before: are there any recycling options for lancets?  It 
always bugs me to toss them, and so many of them.
