If it was or not??? but I thought this was valuable information...

The glass test

Some doctors and Foundations refer to the ‘drinking glass’ or ‘pressure’ test – pressing a clear tumbler firmly against the rash, to see if it fades under pressure (like a harmless rash does), or stays red, indicating a septicemic rash.
The concern with this test is that it is not 100% reliable, especially in the early stages, and can give you a false sense of security. You need to keep testing at regular intervals. However if a rash appears, along with other symptoms, it’s wise not to wait around trying to diagnose it yourself, but go straight to a doctor or hospital.
