I just had an oral swab today as a pre-employment screen

Having known ahead of time of this, and knowing the main details surrounding oral exams and many other exams.. I was not concerned as it had been over a week since I last partool

Now with that said, after 5 minutes of manipulating the "oral dip stick" to not press closely against my gum or cheek, I Was shocked to discover that there what appeared to be a tiny pink/reddish blot of blood on the dip stick.

I am afraid that this might have tainted what would have been my otherwise clean oral swab.

Is there any chance that, had my gums bled ever so slightly that they could test the blood *OR* would the the blood contaminate the saliva causing a positive result.

Best case scenario, obviously, it does not.

Middle case scenario, they determine the blood to have tainted the test and I would have to take another (And hopefully not repeat)

Worst case scenario, obvious... it does effect/taint the specimen.

Thank you for any help regarding this info. :wtf:
