The OralTox drug test is becoming more popular in the USA. But why is that? I’m going to tell you everything you need to know right now about this six panel test. I’ll explain exactly what the OralTox drug test is, and how it works. I’ll explain in detail why it’s dangerous and why it’s catching on with more companies and organizations.

In this quick session, you’ll learn everything you need to know about OralTox drug test results, and, crucially, how you can beat this invasive mouth swab drug test.

What Exactly Is The OralTox Drug Test?

At its heart, the OralTox drug test is simply a mouth swab test, and oral drug test kit that offers a convenient “all in one” solution.

It’s very affordable as well. Around $10 per kit if you buy a pack of 25, and for higher volumes, as low as seven dollars per test. That obviously makes it affordable to any size company or organization that wishes to conduct drug tests.

To be clear, there are plenty of other affordable and similar test kits out there, so it’s not unique. But it is increasingly well known, and the name is beginning to be used generally for this type of all-in-one test.

Each test kit has the following key characteristics:

• A special collection swab with a locking handle mechanism
• The smart swab has indicated strips to show when the sample is collected
• Completely automated and self-contained test device
• Results in 10 minutes

Cheap and easy to use, easy to train people, and with fast results, it offers companies and organizations the ability to do rapid drug testing whenever they want.

Drugs Looked For On The OralTox Drug Test 6 Panel & 8 Panel Kits

The OralTox 6 panel test looks for the following drugs:

• Marijuana
• Cocaine
• Amphetamines
• Methamphetamines
• Opiates
• PCP

Although the Oral Tox drug test 6 panel is the one everyone is talking about, there is also an 8 panel that looks for the substances:

• Methadone
• Opiates
• Oxycodone
• Cocaine
• Marijuana
• Amphetamines
• Methamphetamines
• Benzodiazepines

As you can see, the 8 panel test is heavy on looking for opiates, with oxycodone, opiates generally, and Methadone all looked for.

This Is Why The OralTox Drug Test Is Dangerous

The OralTox test, like all of these self-contained and easy-to-use mouth swab tests, is dangerous for the following reasons:

1. The cost per unit is low. Even a small company can buy 25 kits for just $10 each. This means that training, testing, and even retesting all become affordable to implement.
2. The training is simple. Because it’s self-contained, all you need to know is how to observe someone before the test, how to administer it, and how to monitor the time before the results show or it voids.
3. Because the cost is so low, if the test is positive, a second confirmation test could be done immediately to verify this. It’s a cheap way of the company or organization to show due diligence and prove the result.

How The OralTox Mouth Swab Test Is Conducted

To show you how easy it is to use, let’s talk you through the OralTox instructions now, so you can understand how it’s conducted and how the results are obtained.

1. The person being tested is handed a large sponge swab attached to a plastic collection device. This device has a screw top, and saturation strip that shows progress and when enough has been collected.
2. They put the swab in the mouth and moved it around as instructed. Because it’s so big, it absorbs rapidly and is impossible to game by placing in certain parts of the mouth. Plus, progress is observed via the collection strip so you can’t undercover.
3. Once enough saliva has been collected, the collector is placed into the testing device. It’s pushed in and screwed down. Then the person administering the test watches it for 10 minutes.
4. Within two minutes control line should appear for each test strip/panel. This shows that enough saliva has reached that strip for a test to be conducted.
5. It must be watched for 10 minutes in total, to observe if a positive or negative result is shown for each collection strip. This is the “presumptive positive” result.

How To Read The Results (What Do The OralTox Drug Test Colors Mean?)

The Oral Tox results are easy to read. There are two things you need to look for.

• Firstly, the top line shows that the test is successful. For each drug test strip a red line will appear, you need all six (or eight) to appear for the test to be valid.
• The second set of red lines showed negative results. Again, all six, or eight, should show a second red line underneath the first.

So when it comes to knowing what the OralTox drug test colors mean, there aren’t any to worry about. It’s just a line that has to be there, or not. If there is no line under the control line after 10 minutes, then the drug test is positive for that drug.

Note that it’s called an “presumptive positive” result, rather than an actual positive result. That’s because it needs to be verified. This is either done through a second test, or the original test being sent off for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis.

Be Aware Of False Positives On Mouth Swab Tests Like OralTox

Drug tests can kick up false positives, and because of the nature of the OralTox drug test, in being administered potentially by employees who are not experts at a drug testing company, you need to be aware of false positives to protect yourself.

There are several reasons why false positives can occur:

1. Cross-reactivity is a thing when mimicking the chemical structure of illicit drugs can occur in non-illegal drugs. For example, some over-the-counter medications, and prescription drugs. Even things like decongestants and antihistamines.
2. Contamination can occur, where something in the mouth, usually stuck in the teeth, can interfere with the test.
3. Some completely innocuous substances can break down into structures in the mouth that can resemble the shape of some drug metabolites, which could trigger a false positive result.

Moving to the specific types of substances that can trigger results, to give you an idea of things to watch out for, these are the sorts of things that can cause false positives:

• Decongestants like Sudafed can trigger as amphetamines
• Ibuprofen has been shown to occasionally trigger THC results
• Naproxen can trigger a false positive for THC
• Antidepressants are a real problem for drug testing
• TCA antidepressants can trigger opioid or amphetamine false positives
• Some antibiotics (penicillin-based) can trigger as cocaine use
• Dietary supplements can trigger a lot of false positives
• Cough medicines can occasionally trigger a positive response for PCP or opiates
• Poppy seeds are well known for triggering opiate false positives

One big thing you can do to not fail a drug test through no fault of your own is to ensure that when you go for a drug test, especially if it’s an employee of your company and not a specialist company, is that you tell them about anything you are taking.

How You Can Pass An OralTox Drug Test Every Time

So there’s nothing really new about the OralTox mouth swab drug test, it’s just a convenient format that is very affordable.

But it is dangerous, because of the low bar for using it, and how difficult it is to beat it because the instructions include the specific one that you must remain in sight for 10 minutes before the swab is taken. Obviously designed to stop you from adulterating your saliva, it is still very beatable.

The way you can beat it is to use Oral Clear saliva-neutralizing gum.

You’ll have to play brinkmanship because if you take it too early, it can only last 15 minutes under most circumstances. So if you take it before you go into the room to be observed for 10 minutes, will it still have the strength to neutralize metabolites?

The best strategy is to keep it in your pocket:

1. Go into the room, put your hand in your pocket, and cup the capsule in it. At an opportune minute (they can’t stare straight at you for 10 minutes) you simply cough, place your hand over your mouth – or if they have turned away you don’t even need to cough, and put the capsule in.
2. With your mouth closed, split the capsule in your teeth, and without moving your mouth and lips, let the liquid seep around the mouth for a couple of minutes.
3. Then, use your tongue when not been directly observed, to discreetly move the liquid around your gum line and cheeks. Practice this in the mirror in advance so you can master doing it without external movement.
4. Just before they put the swab in your mouth, swallow the lot to leave no trace you have adulterated the test.
