I was going to say exactly what Melissa did.



Why would they call it a sweat test and collect blood?</end quote></div>


that's exactly what I was thinking....but they do really call it a sweat test...I work at that hospital and in the lab folder, the test is under that name. I asked a ped nurse to explain how they did it and she is the one that told me it was a blood sample only...so either they are calling it wrong or she doesn't know what she is talking about!
I'll see for myself on wednesday. I'll try to get more info tonight as I am working the evening shift.

I'd like it even better if it was the genetic test...it says it can take up to 3 weeks to get the results so I think it is the genes they are testing

This Nurse is WRONG!!!

Here is a link to explain how the sweat test works tho I believe the levels have changed

BTW sweat test results can be obtained the same day depending on the time of the day etc. So if it takes 3 weeks it HAS to be genetic testing that is being done.

It scares me that the Nurse is confused
