COVID PCR testing and retching!
Discussion
Not the prettiest thread title I admit, but I have real difficulty with these PCR tests.
You have to swab your tonsils, then your nose but my gag reflex is so strong and violent, I am sure that the marvellous people in their high visibility jackets can hear me from across the Asda car park. It's getting worse too. It only requires a swab to pass across the threshold that is my teeth that I start calling Ralph.
Went to a drive thru today, touched my tonsils twice, so compensated with a good old scraping of the back of the nose. Test result already back as 'void ' so I have to back tomorrow. Not looking forward to that!
Really, my gagging on the swab (oh matron) is really bad. I am OK when at the dentist (though I had a close call with last dental x ray).
Seriously, how can I get my tonsils swabbed without needing wipers on the inside of my windscreen?
Answers required before 9.30am tomorrow please!
