Comment:
Ethyl Chloride has made having blood draws and venipunctures virtually painless, as opposed to being torture for me without it. I would never consent to another needle stick without first being treated with this product. I carry a can with me at all times in case of emergency. I would highly recommend this for children, elderly, or anyone who has problems with pain from needle sticks.

Comment:
Our hospital uses Ethyl Chloride Spray to reduce pain inserting IV catheters. However, I have heard anecdotal reports of mold growth within the product. Any data to support this? Is there a recommended storage requirement? Is there an expiration date once the cannister is opened?
