Question 1

did tape test for pinworm. got something white but did not move. looked at it an hour later and it look liked there was nothing on the tape.

Accepted Answer

Pibworm : It is not easy to find the pinworm  they come out at night  &amp; cause itching in the perianal area, that is why you apply the tape at night hoping they get caught on the tape . You  can repeat the test &amp; ask your Dr to send a stool sample for the eggs.  Good  luck.

Question 2

is scotch tape toxic if inhaled? i had a broken cigarette that i had taped together with scotch tape and i wasn't paying attention very well and accidentely smoked some of the tape as well. i was wondering if scotch tape is toxic if inhaled in this way.

Accepted Answer

Interesting : Interesting question.  I don't think that the scotch tape that you smoked was any worse than the other chemicals and carcinogens in your cigarette.

Question 3

would a single scotch drink two weeks prior show up on a hair analysis test?

Accepted Answer

Depends: on if looking for alcohol. Most hair follicle tests will pick up@6 months back.

Question 4

is it toxic to inhale scotch tape? we have to melt it at work for over 8 hours 5 days a week, and we don't have masks. is this okay?

Accepted Answer

Scotch tape: Not ok. Inhaling any chemical is not healthy, especially for any length of time.
Buy yourself masks at at any pharmacy or hardware store. Find one that filters the smallest particles you can find.

Question 5

i rolled joints with a piece of scotch tape and smoked the joint with the tape and i inhaled. i did this twice a day for 3 days. will i be okay?

Accepted Answer

OK: You should be ok.  I wouldnt recommend doing it again, because the scotch tape can damage your lungs.  If it was only a total for 6 days and you dont have any symptoms now, you should be ok.  But just buy rolling papers or use a bowl like everybody else.

Question 6

likely that two single pour scotches 1 month prior combined with a single pour 2 weeks prior to a hair follicle analysis test positive for alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: If I'm reading things correctly you are referring to three drinks in a months time.  Hair testing is much more sensitive for chronic moderate-heavy drinkers.  Even the best hair testing would have less than a 5% chance of picking up a (+) test with your quantity of drinking.

Question 7

2nd time asking a question rectal itching at night requesting a doctor in the northern virgina area who can do scotch tape testing need closest doctor?

Accepted Answer

Primary doc or Derm: Agreed, you want to make sure this isn't pinworm infestation.  A primary doctor may be able to do this or at least treat you even if they are not sure.

Question 8

i'm trying to temporarily fix my retainer. is it safe to use clear scotch tape. the retainer will be in my mouth for long periods of time?

Accepted Answer

Suggestion: Have your dentist/orthodontist repair it or replace it. They don't last forever. Scotch tape won't work, and if your teeth shift, you'll be sorry you did not fix the problem in a timely manner.

Question 9

how many pegs of scotch is adviceable in regular evenings ? &how to avoid health issues ?

Accepted Answer

It depends: I don't know what a peg of whiskey is.   Generally in research one measures whiskey effects by ounces consumed.   There are different proofs (concentrations of alcohol in whiskies) but in general less than 2 ounces a day is safe in men.  One ounce or so in women.   If one never drinks alcohol or mixes it etc.  Even 2 ounces over a short period could plaster someone and render driving unsafe.

Question 10

could i brush my teeth using scotch brite?

Accepted Answer

Not advised: Damage to the hard and soft tissues of your mouth and face can be expected. Analogy would be using sandpaper to clean your skin.
