    3. @mushi They prick your finger and do a test with copper sulphate to check your blood iron levels, then they basically put an IV in and have you flex your hand for a while whilst the containers fill up. You only feel the initial needle jab, you can't feel the needle or anything.

        1. @mushi It stings. It's like the little needle they use for blood sugar tests. It just sort of clicks on your finger.
