    Can an allergy test patch trigger a positive EtG?
    My husband had a positive EtG test. He does not drink and it was a random DOT test. He was on an allergy test patch for 3 days when he took this test. Could any of the items they are testing for cause an elevated EtG?

    Hi Asweat,

    Some medications can trigger a positive EtG. Things like mouthwashes, cough syrups, even vanilla extract.

    Still, the level should have been very low, less than say 500 ng/ml.

    Check with the doctor administering the tests.

If I drink this upcoming Friday, would I test positive on an ETG test on Monday? [ 2 Answers ]

I'm really leaning towards just not drinking (which sucks considering it's the holidays), but I'm curious as to if I were to be randomly tested on Monday, and I drank on Friday, would I test positive on an ETG test?
