Problem is, I can often see the faint line right out of the package, before any reagent or sample is applied. I get really OCD about that.

- dawnerd 5y agoThe tests I have here say if you see any lines that are not the control line the test is not good. You might want to double check and contact the manufacturer.
- nsxwolf 5y agoI may be imagining the lines. But there’s no difference between imagining one and seeing one when it comes to your confidence level and thus the value of the test. Google “imagining faint line” and see what a common problem it is. There was an interesting thread last week about different abilities to visualize images in your head - some people describe visualizing things in a faint sort of way, not a full on visual hallucination. Take that ability, mix it with the anxiety of fearing a test result and the tendency to second guess yourself, and I think you can see the value of electronics making the determination for you.
