🤯 Bet You Didn’t Know
Did you know… a paternity test doesn’t always require a cheek swab from the alleged father? 😳
In many cases, alternative DNA specimens may be used if the father is unavailable or unwilling to provide a sample.
Items that may contain usable DNA include:
✔️ Toothbrush
✔️ Earwax swab
✔️ Dried blood
✔️ Hair with root attached
✔️ Fingernail clippings
✔️ Used razor
✔️ Cigarette butts
✔️ Chewing gum
🧪 DNA can sometimes be collected from everyday items people use without even realizing it!
⚖️ Important Fact:
For legal/court-admissible results, chain-of-custody requirements must still be followed and approved specimens are required by the lab.
