It might seem unlikely that eating a few slices of poppy seed cake or a muffin with a poppy seed topping could be enough to make a non-drug user get red flagged in a drug test.
But in fact it’s well documented that eating poppy seeds can be enough to trigger a positive reading for the opiate morphine.
Before they’re used as an ingredient in baking, the seeds are cleaned and processed but are still likely to contain traces of opiate residue. It’s not a high enough concentration for someone to feel any morphine-like effects, but it can be enough to cause a positive result on a sensitive test.

The best way to protect your whānau from getting sick is to wash your hands and kitchen tools after touching raw chicken, and make sure you cook chicken all the way through. Juices

The fire danger has now reached the ‘Extreme’ level, and residents are being urged not to enter the closed areas and use only the Lower Farm Track, Mapp Track, the town boundary or Taylor River Reserve tracks.
Will you adhere to the advice, or will you disregard closure signs and walk the hills anyway?
Do you think the closures are unnecessary?
What alternative walks will you take?

When the wind picks up, we often find our bin or others in our cul-de-sac overturned and the contents blowing up the driveways. The multitude of cats in the neighbourhood also sometimes scratch open the rubbish bags and scatter the contents. How much do you hate recycling/rubbish day? What do you … View moreWhen the wind picks up, we often find our bin or others in our cul-de-sac overturned and the contents blowing up the driveways.

Have taken this out of our van as the Mrs hated the deafening noise and wanted to revert to just a simple set-up. At one point it was draining the battery, although that was intermittent and I couldn't verify why. Its for sale as a set, just add your own head unit. All wiring included.
