A company called BD produces something called an "Allergy Syringe" for those sensitive to nickel

They are a worldwide company so maybe try googling that product from UK suppliers

I am a 66 year old woose with an phobia of needles! I'm currently using BD autoshield safety needles. Only type 8 can use. The allergy syringe looks like an injection
