A used hypodermic needle has been in contact with the blood of another person. If that person had any number of infectious diseases, particularly HIV or hepatitis, that disease can be transmitted by blood. If your skin is punctured by a used hypodermic needle, you could become infected with a very serious disease - or possibly more than one.
