I am wondering what the PEth number would look like for use of medication with Alch. Content over a 5 week period, and taking the blood spot test one week after discontinuing use.
Specifics are 3 bottles 8oz-Nyquil(10%), 2 8oz. Herbal expectorant w/over20% ethanol as well as Proair & Beconaise both w/ethanol as base. Used daily. This in a male 49yrs./ 185lbs. / 70".
Can you give an approximate number?
... And, what effect frequent use of ethanol based antiseptic towels (65.5%) eg: interior wipe down of FD Rescue & stretcher - @conclusion of ea.call?
I've been told by a Doc. That just contact and the fumes will generate numbers as well..
Thanks!

You get alcohol in your system, oral, topically, or nasally, and this metabolite will be formed. It has a half-life of 4 days.

Beyond that, I can't say what your number would be.
