A member asked:
I bought an at-home uti test kit. i think i accidentally touched the test pad when i took it out. is that dangerous? or will it just mess up results?

Neither one: These tests have to be very forgiving (some would say idiot-proof) in order for the US Food and Drug Administration to permit selling them. The test should continue to work fine. And certainly there are no toxins or chemicals that would harm you by touching them. Don't worry about it.
