Should I be concerned about a drug test?!
Question:
Should I be concerned about a drug test?
I don't do drugs. Never have, I've never even held a joint. I drink maybe 12 beers/year. I have been out of work for a few weeks, and have been picking up little side-jobs (painting/home improvement) to get by. I have a drug test in a few days for a prospective employer and I am worried about something; the last 3 days I have been painting inside a house and have been using oil-based primer. I have been keeping the windows open in the rooms that I am in, and have fans running (in the window, facing out). However; I have not been wearing a respirator mask. I will admit that at times I was starting to feel a little loopy, kind of like a minor alcohol buzz kicking in. Should I be worried about those fumes that I've been breathing in? Is that something that will show up on a drug test (urine)?
Answers:
Yes, you should be worried about how the fumes are making you feel light-headed. ( you know this means your brain is getting more fumes than oxygen...RIGHT????)
And no to the other fairly non life changing question...as opposed to the secondary question you were asking.
If you continue painting, pllllllleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaase invest in resperator equipment!!
