COVID-19 is throwing all sorts of surprises at us these days, the latest one that I read was in the “Veterinary Poisons Information Service” monthly newsletter; now that lots of people are receiving Covid-19 rapid tests through the post the Poisons Information Service have received several enquiries about pets chewing and ingesting these packs. Luckily, the good news is that these packs only contain a few millilitres of buffering agent or extraction solution and they appear to contain no hazardous ingredients. Some test kits contain an isothiazolinone preservative, but the concentration is extremely low and so not an issue; the Service would not expect any toxic hazard from these test kits.
