Hi @tre858. How frustrating for you to not be taken seriously about your blood results. The reaction from the medical staff seemed pretty insulting and not helpful if there was a medical issue that really needed to be evaluated.

For some reason your blood test showed alcohol in your blood even though you hadn’t been drinking. There can be other factors which cause ethanol-like compounds to register in the body. Interestingly enough, exposure to hand sanitizers, products containing alcohol such as after-shave lotions, perfumes and certain foods, even some medications. Underlying medical conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes can cause false positive alcohol tests.

Were you in the hospital for an emergency?
