15 Hours before my drug test I ate a poppy seed bagel...

[BHeemsoth]

Am I screwed?

If I fail, will the company likely give me another shot?

It was only one bagel, so I'm hoping it will be alright.

 

[keeleysam]

You're fired.

</trump>

 

[yowolabi]

I wouldn't be worrying about the job.... a bigger worry is what will happen when they call the cops to inform them.

 

[yowolabi]

I'm kidding, by the way. You should be fine.

 

[SagaLore]

I don't know why they haven't made poppy seeds illegal yet. Can't they see how many people are addicted to bagels?

 

[BrownTown]

do the poppy seeds in a bagel really contain any opium in any but minute quantities? I would say you are fine.

 

[Juice Box]

If you tell them you ate it, they will look over it during the examination, don't worry.

edit: rather, they will most likely ask you if you have as well...so again, don't worry, it's a bagel

 

[Anubis]

its will shwo up but just tell them and its fine, its such a small trace ammnt, if you were doing opium they woudl definitly know it

 

[Ktulu]

Why don't you walk in eating one of those bagels? That should at least get you off the hook.

 

[Quasmo]

Ask them if thye watch Seinfeld.

 

[Flashram]

Mythbusters proved you could fail a drug test eating a poppy bagel. Good luck.

 

[BHeemsoth]

I've never gotten a drug test before...

This is for an internship, and I'm going to an independent clinic for it.

Do they usually run the test while you are waiting?

 

[imported_weadjust]

You must study harder for the test to work the poppy seed out of your system.

 

[nonameo]

detox

 

[Bootprint]

Do a line of coke a few hours before hand, they won't even worry about the results created by eating a poppy seed bagel.

 

[Bootprint]

 

[BHeemsoth]

Okay, thanks for the jokes guys....
How about a serious answer to my second question?

 

[Brainonska511]

I thought they raised the level that needs to be in you for opium to be triggered on the drug test, and eating a poppy seed bagel would still keep you under that level.

 

[Drakkon]

when all else fails turn to snopes : http://www.snopes.com/medical/drugs/poppyseed.asp

NO

 

[BD2003]

Youre screwed. Seriously.

 

[everman]

This was on mythbusters, as long as you weren't eating poppy seeds by the bag full I think you'll be fine.

 

[skyking]

The tests in the olden days, pre-1995 could get fooled by poppy seeds.
The tests are much more sophisticated now and it will not be an issue.

 

[3NF]

Maybe the test was to see if you were stupid enough to eat a poppy bagle before taking a drug test ...

Call this confirmed, I work in the life insurance industry's and we set the minimum threshold for a positive test (for many drugs including opium) to avoid false positives on drug screens.
