Where are you taking an EtG saliva? I'm not aware of anyone using such a test currently. If you are taking one it should be clear as the detection window is usually around 14-16 hours. That is the reason it isn't used... that I know of.

Dr. Thanks for replying but for you question it's for parole. It's like a littlle white paper thing shaped like a rectangle that I put in my mouth and after 5 minute I take it out and she looks at it..?

Why do you think it is for EtG? There are no quick-tests for this metabolite. There are several drugs that can be tested for by swab but nothing on-site for EtG.
Do you possibly have confused with EtOH? That can be swabbed.

EtOH = alcohol. That answers the question. Has nothing to do with EtG. When alcohol is out of circulation it is out of oral fluid. Equivalent to a breathalyzer.
