Other causes of failed PEth test for alcohol abuse?

There are now several other published methods for false positives as well. And I know of another coming.

The irony is, they keep claiming it’s PERFECT, despite the obvious problem with that, while ignoring EASY problems that if identified would render this test VERY legit and useful.

@toolsd, thank you for your help thus far.
I am also the victim of a false positive Peth test. My PHP allows us to do the testing at home while being videotaped. I did not know about the "not drying" artifact. Put a ton of blood on the paper, sealed it, then left it overnight in a cold outdoor FedEx box. Everything about fermentation makes a lot of sense. I do have high blood sugar due to my diabetes, so even more so that could possibly happen.

My PHP is forcing me to go get another evaluation, after doing 90 days in rehab last year and remaining completely compliant with my monitoring contract. I am hoping I could be convincing to the evaluators that indeed the whole reason for this mess was due to that false positive PEth test. You mentioned that Talbott Recovery Center has acknowledged that false positives do exist. I am hoping if I get the evaluation there, they would believe me. What do you think?
