2 Mpls Girls Get Pricked by Needles Found in Playground

Two Minneapolis girls were pricked by needles after finding them in their school playground.  Police say it happened at the Whittier School along 26th Avenue West and Harriett Street.

The girls, eight and seven, found "several" needles according a police report.  They played with them and were poked.  The children were taken to a physician.  School officials tell us the girls were back in school the next day and are ok.

Despite the scare, infection specialist Cindy Larson says, "the risk of infection from HIV or Hepatitis is minimal.  Anything on the needle is probably going to be dead."  Larson tells us those viruses cannot survive in open air more than a few minutes let alone weeks or months in snow.

School district officials say students are being told to alert teachers if they see anything dangerous on the playground and the Minneapolis Parks Department has been asked to clean up the playground on a regular basis as the snow melts.
