I went to Labcorp today with real urine, temp strip, and heating pads but the thing that concerns me is my urine was right at 100 degress (was using 2 heating pads + Florida temp) still in range to pass but the Lady taking my sample was suspicious and said nothing in your body is supposed to be 100 degrees and I was just quiet not to influence her decision. Regardless the paper given back to me was checked yes stating my urine was in range but Im wondering can she also write down additional info to void my test for being at 100 degrees?

Thanks

A person running a fever can easily urinate a sample at 100F.

Its evident that she didnt raise enough stink about the temp. Otherwise she would be required, under DHHS regulations, to order you to immediately submit another sample and under direct observation. She would be required to process and send off both samples, and indicate on the Remarks space of the form that a resubmit under D/O had taken place, and the reason(s) why.

Since the above obviously didnt happen to you (largely because 100F is still within the range), you dont have anything to worry about.
