I am an insulin dependent diabetic.I got a new box of syringes from my pharmacy, as i had used up the last box.I am having a very hard time removing the caps on this lot of syringes.My daughter (who is an emt) is also having great difficulty removing the caps so much force is needed.I have stuck my finger a few times trying to remove the cap.
