There are substances that can cause a false positive. Had you taken anything, even over the counter products?

You are an ignorant case worker. This person is trying to find the answer to a problem - just like I am. I am so tired of people saying "you did cocaine because you tested positive." Yes I tested positive - but no I have never done cocaine. If you have nothing to offer in the way of information, please keep your holier than though BS to yourself. Remember a few years ago when everyone on death row was guilty? I am sure you were one of the people saying the appeals process is too long for death row inmates. Now there is one being released every month.

I was giving a hair follicle test and it come back positive for cocaine and I don't do drugs, but I was given fentanyl in the hospital and I do use lidocaine cream for my feet. Would that cause it? I really need help trying to figure this out and proof.

Do you have kidney disease or liver problems? Both can cause a false positive for cocaine.

I have an open CPS case, I have never touched cocaine and I keep it real. My child changed my life. But, I have NEVER touched cocaine. However, I am a diabetic, I do have kidney & liver disease. I know I may have to pay for an expert but, I know I have NEVER IN LIFE TOUCHED THE STUFF. So, getting a professional may be my best bet?

Your reply clearly shows you do not believe that she had a FALSE positive test result. The test result is NOT fact. This I know from my own personal FIRST HAND experience. I had stopped using drugs and moved to a different state. I was drug tested randomly, via urine, with no problems. And honestly was 100% drug-free. I underwent a hair follicle test and it was positive for cocaine!!! I was devastated! I had NOT been doing any drugs and in fact was clean for 7 months at that time. Those that ordered the test said they would try again in 3 months. And they did. And once again I received the horrible call telling me it came back positive. I had not been doing any drugs of any kind, whatsoever. These results changed my life. It you truly have not been doing drugs and you receive a false positive, I say to you - you are not alone. It happened to me. Fight it with everything you have. Stand up for yourself and never back down. Good luck. Xo

FYI case manager. Pls quote the regulation or enlighten me as to where u are getting your information from because I honestly haven't found this information to be true at all. I have been a registered foster parent since 1999 and raised 6 children of my own including one that was adopted thru the state. The dcs is Smith county and DeKalb county Tennessee are all on a witch Hunt. I have seen that side of the situation for many years. They put good people thru H..L especially when my almost 18 year he's 17 and will be 18 in 2 months got caught speeding and had a small amount of Marijuana in his car. They are putting me thru so much crap. I and very ill I suffer from diabetes, liver disease and took a private company hair folical test and it showed a false positive I have disputed those results so at their request I used their approved lab I passed 100 percent take 6 days later but now they are trying to black ball me just b c I reported the case workers for improper documentation and violating the HEPA laws. Trust me people just don't comply with their request and then they have nothing to use against u. Don't even let the dcs into your home or don't pee in a cup. There is no law that says that they have the right to invade your life. Unless they can see immediate life treating abuse. The state and the dcs needs to be educated on these unreliable hair folical test that needs a lot of research to be accurate. These test were originally developed to measure the toxic metals in a body. Please don't trust anybody that works with the dcs. I would dare a dozen of the case managers and supervisors to take a hair folical test and then where would they be, ... Prob out of a job since the state is not smart enough to be educated in the variable that can cause false positives.

I have been clean from cocaine for 15 years now, went to treatment and had kids. Now that I went to jail for a tag on my car, my past is coming back. My urine tests are all neg(-) for 3 months and my hair was positive!!! How? I have not touched this s*** in years. How did this happen??? Help! I raised my 2 kids, 1 in in pre med and the other one 17 years old. I cant see why they don't care about my 10 negative urine tests, but this 1 hair test will end me and my son. What do I do? Why is it showing positive?
