A snot covered test

[snotnose]

Me and DP done corona tests today. When he pulled it out his nose it was stringy with snot 🤢 will this still get an accurate result?

Mine was like that and I got a result ok!

Yes ds was like that, I think it had some of his brain on there aswell as I had to really wrestle him to get it up his nose 😂

It tells you to blow your nose before taking it to ensure it's clear.

If the test comes back inconclusive you know you haven't done it right

@herechickchickchickchick he did do that to be fair, it shocked me what came out

Thanks everyone

I had the same thing with DD in fact I googled and I found an article from an America paediatrician saying they collected ‘Boogers’ (sp?) as part of their test for children. Not sure if that’s true or not but DD came back with a result so wasn’t inconclusive.

They do tell you to blow your nose before hand but the swab does go in a long way ! I tested over Christmas (neg) and my swan had blood on it from my nose !

That was one of the reasons I didn't take the test. I had sinusitis and I was so snotty. (I didn't have any of the main symptoms)

I blew my nose before my test and it still came out with snot on!! Positive result

Very reassured, thanks everyone

This is a timely thread. I have to take a test on Wednesday and I'm a bit snotty and was a little worried about the nasal swab coming out with snot on it

@BentBastard if it's any help, you couldn't tell when it was in the pot!

That does make me feel better (even though I realise it makes no difference really )
