    Are there any Covid Saliva Spit Tests available in Bay Area, CA?

    Hello Calgunners!

    My Covid Vaccine exemption was approved/granted temporary approval until 6/2022. I don't know if I would have to submit another exemption or what things/requirements might look like in 6/2022, but I might be safe at least for another 6 or so months.

    In any case, I guess I will have to start doing weekly testing in order to keep my job. Although yes it may be nice to have the temporary approval, I do not want to do the nasal swab test. Here is a link below, the nasal swab tests contain ethylene oxide and are said to be cancer causing. (Yes, I understand a lot of things these days cause cancer or whatever, but with cancer rates being very high, with 1 out of every 2 or so people being diagnosed with cancer, it would be in my best interest to not increase my chances by swabbing ethylene oxide in my nose on a weekly basis).

    A union group called Isotita (Equality) that represents public sector workers is calling for Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “rapid tests” to be suspended from use after it was discovered that the swabs contain ethylene oxide, a toxic substance. The Cyprus-based union says that current requirements mandating testing every 72 hours be immediately discontinued in order to […]


    Thank you!

    Note: There may be some individuals who may scoff at this post and think the cancer risk is miniscule. I am not trying to debate about cancer risks with this post. I am hoping to find a good saliva testing place I can go for my job.

    Note #2: At home saliva spit testing is not the most feasible. It's like 90 bucks or so for 1 test, which would be like 500 bucks/month just for testing

    Note #3: It's dumb that southern california kaiser offers saliva spit test but bay area/nor cal does not. Blah. This whole thing is dumb.

    A buddy of mine from the Davis area picked up a couple at a Rite Aid or CVS back in August when he had symptoms… should be able to find them.

      This link from Santa Clara County Public Health states "Saliva specimen collection is being use at this site. Please do not eat, drink, chew gum or smoke 30 minutes prior to your test." --- but I do not know if the information is outdated

        oh wow thanks! I might have to check that out and/or call CVS/Rite Aid

        Edit: I called CVS. They don't have saliva spit test/for sale. They have the nasal swab

          Are you nose sensitive or worry about them jamming unknown particulates up there?

            I do not want to have ethylene oxide in my nose and/or throat on a weekly basis due to increase risk of cancer or whatever :/ Spit testing may be a healthier option

            Edit: I'm a very health conscious person, so I don't feel comfortable doing the nasal swab test exposing to ethylene oxide on a weekly basis maybe i'd be ok with it if it was like here and there, but I don't want to do it on a weekly basis for 6+ or so months or something

              I say don't do it, I stopped at the temperature check, long and behold, an enlighten one told.me they are fu*"ing with my 3rd eye, which I believe is true, so now I ask them to scan my neck, and verbally inform them "please don't mess with my 3rd eye" those $20 thermometer are off too, I should just let me manually do it through the other hole and hand it back, LOL.

              Well it looks like your semi-screwed until somebody has an answer or you find it.. I am not going to take a test that does not work in any shape or form, and it also feeds the beast and induces more mandates/lockdowns. Sooner or later, there will be no test, it happened to me, I work for the city. They gave us an extra week to get tested as a curtiosy, LOL, even states it in the email... It is pretty comical but frightening at the same time that this is happening..

                Good luck.
                I hope you find a spit test.
                Be a nice alternative.
                Spit test probably didn't fit in their narrative.
                Can't pollute your body with a spit test.
