We need details to help with POSSIBLE reasons.

1. When, and where? Ambient conditions seem to matter.

2. what type of Peth test? Dried blood spot, vinous blood draw?

3. What lab processed it? Can you get the litigation package?

4. Write down EVERYTHING you remember about the process. Was the collector trained? Brief you on how and what? EVERYTHING.

The fact is this test is prone to false positives and wild variations. No one seems to know why precisely. The fact medically ignorant people like lawyer boards, airlines, FAA, etc use it makes sense, they are buying the used car sales pitch. But medical professionals? Wow...

I’m going to private message you. Call if you want.

At quest was the first ever through blood draw and sent out and 8 days later was shands hospital lab done through blood draw both were done in the afternoon about 1-2:00pm if I remember correctly. We knew the first would be positive as he had a few drinks 2 nights before (long story but was told he could because they had him in the wrong group) but the second one should have been negative as he had no more alcohol at all ever after the one night and they are saying and not listing him because they say he is continuing to drink
