If you’ve ever considered wearing a wig, now may be the time. Dr. Werner Baumgartner, a California biophysical chemist, has developed a technique for analyzing hair strands for traces of drugs, The test will be commercially available by the end of the summer. So if you’ve wondered about the rights and wrongs of the urine check, here’s another hairy problem.
Hair analysis can determine not only the drug taken but the amount used. And abstaining from drugs for a few days, or even a few months, won’t guarantee a clean bill of health.
