Both my husband and I have used meth over the last 2 years. Our employer is requesting volumtary testing of all employees. It will be either a urine or hair follicle test and managed randomly. My question is since I have long hair and he gets his cut often, isn't he less likely to produce a positive test?

Yes, you are correct. Also, when was the last time you both used? Usually they use the potion of the hair follicle closest to the scalp.

The past 2 months, on different occasions. Is there any method of cleansing our system tin case one or both of us draw the hair follicle possibility.

[J_9]

I am sorry, but no there is no way to completely cleanse the hair follicle. Others here may tell you differently, but this particular scenario is on my next test due tomorrow in school. We discussed this in length and there is nothing that will cleanse the hair and remove the chemicals.

The chemicals attach to the keratin in the follicle and actually become part of that follicle.

Unfortunately, it looks as though both of you will test positive. Please take this as a learning experience and try to get clean.

Yes, first please do yourself a big favor and stop using drugs, you will always have these issues, or what about when you have to come here and say well my husband is sentenced to two years what is...
And esp meth if you had to pick the worst drug to use you have.

But again you said the test was voluntary, so don't offer. Or did you mean random and you were not gong to have a choice.

And I will give you a secret after having been in business for years, radom normally means they have some ideas and suspects and they seem to get randomly picked a lot more than others.

He still can produce a positive.. I've done hair follicle now like 3 times.. and they can pull hair.. from anywhere on your body not just your head.. now is they were to pull it from any where else it can detect usuage from up to a year ago as hair does 90 days..
