I don’t know the type of test - she works for a chiropractic practice and they also do testing so we both got our tests there. It was the older touch your eyeballs through your nasal cavity test though😑.
Usnea grows on the dead/dying limbs of trees. It’s also called Old Man’s Beard. It’s that fuzzy/frizzy lichen. Anyway it’s found in health food stores as usnea tincture, but you can make your own, which is what I do.
I first used it for bad colds, sore throats, etc. But it has some anti- viral uses so I figured it couldn’t hurt 🙂
You told me about usnea tincture a long time ago and I keep forgetting. What time of year is the best for collecting it? We have it here and all summer it’s dried out, rainy season started thankfully so it looks more lively.
When were the antibody tests done?
Now there’s IgG IgM antibody blood tests (15 min and 72hr), along with the nasal cavity type (instructions on blood test say to confirm with the nasal cavity test), some of the nasal ones don’t use long swabs.
Thanks for the info on usnea.
Usnea tincture is great... I have used it on cuts or even pimples. I’ve never taken it internally though.
