It is said that the swabs have nanoparticles on the tips to be deposited near your brain stem.
If these are harmless swabs, why can’t they be frozen?
It sounds to me that there is technology here, at nanoscale, too small to see, that can’t take cold or heat.
“It is said that the swabs have nanoparticles on the tips to be deposited near your brain stem.”
You just swap inside your nose and turn it 3 times. The new ones you don’t push way up like the old ones.
“If these are harmless swabs, why can’t they be frozen?”
They have small tube of activating agent-that is what can’t be frozen...and as someone mentioned above it probably means long term freezing.
Freezing can break down the organics in a test kit and thus it is no good. Some organic based meds are sensitive to this and also physical agitation of the product. On the other hand some organics are very robust and can take a lot of abuse.
I finally looked up nanoparticles used in medicine.....scary
Probably not, but I intend to use a Q-tip to swab then rub it on the official test swab. If it doesn't work, don't really care.
“It is said that the swabs have nanoparticles on the tips to be deposited near your brain stem.”
I wondered about that. I shunned taking these tests simply because I don’t know what’s going to be on the swab, therefore I don’t know what they’re having me put in my body.
