Hypodermic needles and syringes

[Surfview]

In the last few outings I have found two hypodermic needles on the beach in the sand. It has made me think twice before grabbing handfuls of sand. Think I'll just sift with scoop from now on. I wonder if some bio waste company is dumping this stuff offshore? Or maybe drug users on the beach?

Oh yuck! That's horrible. Just think of all the barefoot kids running around!

Medical wastes are dumped from ships or the stuff could be from the other side of the world too.
