I would love to see a Davey Do cartoon about this..... the images that pop in my head... alien with an ID card... a cat... thanks for the fantastic visuals!!!
We members of the management team did sit around scratching our heads a bit trying to figure out what non-human species the urine came from. It reminds me of a time when someone told me about a cheese made from cat's milk. I stated "I didn't know you could milk a cat. The person on the other end of this conversation said "You can milk anything with tits!" Mods sorry if that word is offensive delete or change if necessary.

Gee, I'm so glad to see so many non-judgmental, kind responses Anywho...off the subject-- if you use alcohol based hand sanitizer, can enough alcohol REALLY be absorbed to cause a positive test??? We have the nonalcohol based hand sanitizer at work, but that just doesn't do it for me. I need it to have alcohol to believe it's working.

The theory behind a positive from Alcohol based sanitizer is not based on skin absorption. It is based on a study Done by Dr. Skipper MD (if you haven't heard of him you should look him up) that actually proved that inhalation of the fumes from normal use (not huffing) could cause a positive Etg. It absorbs through the lung tissues and is excreted by the kidneys,
