What is the history of the syringe?
assistant
The syringe has been around since ancient times. It was first used in Ancient Egypt, and then later in China. In Europe, it was first used during the Renaissance period, and then again during the Victorian era. During World War I, syringes were used to inject morphine into soldiers' arms so that they could endure pain without feeling it too much. After World War II, the syringe was used to give children vaccines against polio, measles, mumps, and rubella.
