Hair Drug Testing

False vs. Reality

Open: Hair drug testing is impressive, but not a popular course of drug testing, because it is therefore expensive.

Closed: drug tests are indeed far more than high-priced rather than a standardurinalysis–we’re talking dollar bills to cents here–and is a newer form of drug testing, so most employers prefer for a ordinary urine drug test. Psychemedics, the companythat makes hair drug tests in the United States, has been quite productive at depressing the monetary value and raising cognisance, but a full shift from urine to hairhas a long road in front of it.

Open: There is tiny deviation between a urine drug test, and hair drug testing.

Closed: false. A urine drug test is cleaner, less expensive, open, and at this point, an acknowledged method of drug testing. Hair drug testing is far less invading–inducing it perfect for sensitive arenas of testing, such as student drug tests–than its similitude.

Myths: Hair drug testing will detect toxin exposure and/or illicit drug use fromseveral years past.

Reality: Indeed, hair drug testing will unveil drug “use”–direct andindirect exposure–for up to seven years. The hair strand is analyzed analogous toevaluating the years of a tree by its internal ring structure. Body hair is likea Velcro for all things ingested from your diet, the air you breathe, and yes, to any banned substances. This is a tremendous benefit of hair drug testing, butalso puts a greater rational dilemma: is exposure true “use”?

Myth: Hair drug testing can be overcame by trimming your head.

Case Closed: While continuing empty of hair may appear to make good sense when posed witha drug test that uses hair as its specimen, alas for you, no, it won’t work.For example, not like you could go out, buy a , shave your head, and pass hair drug testmethods simply because your bald! Funny, eh? No, seriously, the examiner will justclip some body hair. There is zero way to shave your path out of a hair drug test.
