An individual contacted us after experiencing unexplained symptoms commonly linked to drug use, despite never having taken any drugs. The symptoms persisted over time, affecting their physical and mental well-being, leading them to suspect that they were being drugged without their knowledge.
In trying to identify a possible cause, they recalled that their symptoms had begun shortly after a friend started bringing them homemade baked goods. Initially dismissing it as a coincidence, they grew increasingly suspicious as their condition worsened. With no history of substance use or any other explanation for their symptoms, they sought confirmation through drug testing.
To investigate further, the individual arranged a hair strand drug test with us. Hair testing was the ideal choice in this case, as it provides a long-term record of substance exposure. By analysing segmented hair samples, we were able to determine whether drugs had been present in their system over an extended period.
We detected ketamine at persistent levels over six months, confirming that the individual had been unknowingly consuming the drug—most likely through the baked goods.
With this evidence in hand, they were able to take the necessary steps to address the situation legally.
If you are concerned about potential drug exposure and need scientifically reliable evidence, our team at Cansford Labs is here to help. We offer fast, accurate hair strand testing and expert reports that are fully admissible in court. Our discreet and professional service ensures you get the answers you need, when you need them.
