" SD alcohol 40 " is specially denatured ethyl alcohol. I don't know what

percentage alcohol is in hairsprays, but because it is usually the #1 or

#2 ingredient on the label, I imagine it is high. From what the Purell

study showed, its ability to cause a positive EtG would depend on how

much you absorbed via inhalation. There are no studies on hairsprays to

prove/disprove their ability to cause a positive EtG.

Can inhalation of hair spray cause a false positive???

I was styling my hair the other day and I became aware of the taste of

alcohol as I was spraying my hair with hair spray. THe suspect

ingredients on the can are Dimethyl Ether and SD alcohol 40. Could

either of these cause a positive EtG??? It was right before I had to

go give a ROBS. My option was #7. Now I am really worried. Somebody

had said once that option #7 might be a high level EtG. It cost 27.00

but doesn't the cost of the EtG test decrease as the sensitivity does.

Also, what about laxatives and naprosyn. I have avoided taking

Tylenol since hearing about this test. Took a couple of laxatives for

constipation and some naprosyn for a headache because that was all

that was available.

I have had + screens on #2($42.00), #3 ($27.00), and #6 ($69.00), in PA, my friend had a + on #1($69.00). I am not sure if they were + for ETOH first then retested for EtG, but the end result was always +EtG. I do not know what tests have what??
