The second time around, the lancet is not sterile and, therefore, risk of infection becomes a concern.

Why cant you use the same lancet twice?

The needle is extremely small and thin and when it punctures the skin it gets damaged. This damage can make it painful to use more than once. EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is the fact that when the needle goes into the tissue it contacts blood which is sticky. The needle may look clean but it is now covered in microscopic bacteria and maybe even viruses. You can wipe it off but remember the needle is damaged and now storing bacteria in its microscopic cracks. Using it again now puts you at risk of bacterial infection. Remember you are sticking this into your blood supply so you are giving the bacteria a free ride to your capillaries and tissues. Bacterial infections can rapidly turn into dangerous situations especially in people not in optimal health (people with diabetes). Medicare/Medicaid and most insurances will cover enough lancets so you never have to use them twice. If you cant afford them you need to ask your pharmacist or health care professional for ways to get your lancets for discounted prices/free.


Why cant you move one finger on its own?

Moving one finger independently is challenging because the tendons that control finger movement are interconnected. This means that when you try to move one finger, the tendons of adjacent fingers are also activated, making it difficult to isolate the movement to just one finger. Additionally, the muscles controlling finger movement are often interconnected, further limiting independent movement.


Why cant you move your ring finger when your middle finger is bent?

When you bend your middle finger, the tendons that control the ring finger are connected and can't move independently. This is due to the anatomy of the hand, where the tendons of the fingers are interconnected and share common sheaths allowing them to move in coordination.
