@Liquadia1 This child had a fear of needles, like about 40% of kids and 22% of adults. His mom got him a Buzzy to take with him for the lab draw. In studies, Buzzy actually increases the chance of a successful lab draw 3x compared to the prescription fast-acting cold sprays in addition to decreasing pain by half. The bee-stractor cards can also be gotten at the buzzy4shots website

Distraction can work great for this application. So does Pain Ease, a spray that instantly cools the skin to minimize the pain. It's by Gebauer--try it!
