Want to know a cool fact about leuprolide (AKA Lupron)?

This medicine can pass into body fluids (urine, feces, vomit). For at least 48 hours after you receive a dose, avoid allowing your body fluids to come into contact with your hands or other surfaces. Caregivers should wear rubber gloves while cleaning up a patient's body fluids, handling contaminated trash or laundry or changing diapers. Wash hands before and after removing gloves. Wash soiled clothing and linens separately from other laundry.

You are unlikely to spread the three body fluids they list (hopefully), but I didn't see anything about saliva or sweat (increased sweating is a side effect of Lupron) so who knows, that Lupron shot might be turning your teenager into a biohazard. These are dangerous, dangerous drugs.
