[QUOTE="donna723, post: 63333, member: 1883"] There can absolutely be false positives. I'm glad you found the link. At the prison where I work, the inmates who are paroling out are drug tested and if they test positive, they don't go home! We had one that it happened to a few months ago. Then about a week later, when the results came back from the lab, it showed "negative" and he finally got to leave. What we give there are classified as "field tests". If they test positive on the field test, then the remainder of the sample is sent off to a lab for verification. There's not a lot of false positives, but it does happen. And now they've started doing "random testing" on a certain number of employees every month. We had a big, long sheet we were passing around that listed even more things than are given on the link! You are supposed to tell them what prescription medications you're taking ... (none of their business!)... but it's still very scary! We have people who are taking many diferent kinds of prescription medications. If you tested positive, you'd be put in a position to have to defend yourself! I hate to think that my reputation could be ruined and I could even possibly lose my job - because I had one of those big Sara Lee poppyseed bagels for breakfast! It's supposed to all be kept "confidential" - yeah, right! [/QUOTE]
