Can hand sanitizer change results of positive a drug test?

Answer 1

Hand sanitizer typically contains alcohol, which can potentially lead to a false positive result on a drug test for alcohol consumption. However, standard drug tests are designed to detect specific drugs or their metabolites, and hand sanitizer should not affect the results of these tests. It is important to note that confirmatory testing is often conducted to rule out false positives and ensure accurate results.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, hand sanitizer won't give you a positive drug test result. Unless you've been using some super sketchy hand sanitizer that's laced with illegal substances, you're all good. So, like, don't worry about your Purell messing up your drug test, okay?

Answer 3

No. It will give you an inconclusive result and the alcohol will show up in the test. They will know that you tampered with the specimen. Stop smoking pot for a 3-4 weeks and drink plenty of water. This is the only way to garunteed negative result

Answer 4

No, it is a chemical (a plant metabolite), not an infectious disease agent or pathogen that could be killed (not alive in the first place). THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is also known as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and is the psychoactive agent in cannabinoid in the marijuana (cannabis) plant. It must be metabolized by our bodies for it to be gone from our systems and tissues. This can take up to 30 days or more before it is not detected in urine. It remains in some other tissues longer (such as hair, which requires cutting or removal of the hair to be rid of it).

THC is soluble in some forms of alcohol. Hand sanitizer most often includes the active ingredient of 60 % alcohol and is a topical product which has little to no effect on systemic body chemicals. It might help you wash the THC off your hands or other surface, but not from within your body.

Answer 5

It will give an "innocent positive" on the EtG test.

I just learned about this new term, and it's kinda cool. An innocent positive is a positive for EtG you got from absorbing alcohol through your skin. If you use hand sanitizer and the EtG test is set to its lowest setting (you know, the one probation officers like best) you'll be positive. The thing is, you were hot not because of drinking but because of hand sanitizer.

EtG is a test I really don't agree with because of its nonspecificity--it shows that you were around alcohol, not that you were around a bottle of Scotch that you poured into a glass and swallowed.

Answer 6

It most likely would show up as alcohol. But it would depend if you actually drank it. Hand sanitizer containing isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) is used in hand sanitizer. While it is not absorbed through the skin as much as methanol, this alcohol is toxic and will damage your nervous system and internal organs if you drink it.
Possible effects may include blindness, brain damage and kidney and liver damage. These effects may be permanent, plus it's possible to die from drinking this chemical.

Hand sanitizer containing ethyl alcohol (ethanol or grain alcohol) theoretically could be drunk, except it may be denatured. This means the alcohol has purposely been adulterated to make it undrinkable.
Back in the days of Prohibition, denaturing agents included arsenic and benzene. Modern denaturing agents range from toxic chemicals to non-toxic, foul-tasting chemicals. The problem is that you can't tell from the label what denaturing chemical was used.
The main risk of drinking hand sanitizer isn't from the toxic chemicals, but from the extremely high alcohol content. Most people who are hospitalized from drinking hand sanitizer get there because of alcohol poisoning (overdose).

Answer 7

It will show up positive on the ethyl glucoronide test.

Answer 8

Yes make sur e you drink beer mixed with sour cream before you take the test ans then wash you hands with hand sinitizer.

Answer 9

no
