When you're doing an injection how long or what number do you count up to to keep the needle under the skin for?
 
5s when injecting.........sometimes more and sometimes less...🙂
 
usually five to ten, but occasionally when stinging (not often) as long as I can bear it.
 
3 or 4 usually did the trick for me. Depends how fast you count I suppose!
 
10 hippopotamuses. Unless it stings and then I wimp out.
 
5 seconds is about all I can be bothered with, probably less if I'm not concentrating!
