Is this lateral flow positive?

[35and3]

It's been a very long time since I've done one! The dye at the bottom isn't clearing well but I think I see a line? If it's not covid it's one hell of a virus. The worst head cold I've ever had (and I have had covid!!)

Test

Hold it up to a window so the light is behind it.
Test again in a day or two, hope it's not Covid, it's just knocked me sideways. Feel better soon.

I have a nasty feeling it is. I would test again in the morning to make sure.

I don't think that's a positive. It's just blurred ink but I can't see an actual line. It might clear if you leave it a bit longer.

There is a very rough virus around. My mum had it a couple of months ago and was really rough for at least 3 or 4 weeks. Covid tests were negative but the symptoms were very Covid like. We thought it could well be Covid but not showing on the tests.

About a month ago she then had a mild cold. She tested because she was going to stay with a friend and it turns out the mild cold was Covid. I'm assuming that what she'd had earlier wasn't Covid although it was a much worse illness for her. It was her first time getting Covid and she's had all the vaccinations for her age group.
