    They can. Particularly if you have prolonged exposure to the fumes of those that contain denatured alcohol. That can be identified as ingredient by the term SD alcohol 40.

    Another common solvent in paints and thinners is Ethyl Acetate (EA). Inhaled EA is rapidly converted to ethyl alcohol in your body and could lead to EtG synthesis.

    DrBill: I received a full printout of the whole drug panel from my test. I posted this question in other forum, but perhaps you might know...

    I don't smoke pot at all but the value next to THC/Cannabinoids read "-9 ng/mL". And no, that's not a typo, it says -9. What could this mean? I know that I registered as negative for the test as a whole, but I'm curious what this amount means in the first place? Frankly, how can someone have a negative amount of a drug in your system? Or is this just an industry marker/cutoff point?

    Doubly puzzling. Negative screens are not subjected to confirmatory testing which is the only way to obtain a quantitative reading. Could you block out your identity and post the test? Maybe I'm missing something.

    I have a PETh test coming up in a few days. Going backwards from the test date. I had exactly one glass of wine 2 .3 weeks ago and 10 days prior to that I had 3 beers. Is there really any chance of a positive? It is all voluntary so I am not extremely worried of outcome.
