Ethyl alcohol sanitizer absolutely causes false positive peth. My number was 28ng. Very low. Breathing it also causes peth. Stay away from it moving forward. That's what happened to me. They said that hand sanitizer was safe. It obviously isn't. I've been out of work since April cuz of this crap.

That's what we were afraid of! My husband wasn't just rubbing the gel on his hands, he has a mister thing that you wave your hand in front of and it sprays out a mist of the stuff. And his whole office used it, so not only was it misting in his face 20+ times a day from his own use, but I'm sure he walked through it sometimes when his staff used it.
