Following on from my thread on whether you are allowed to let others use your rapid lateral flow tests at https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...ers-use-your-rapid-lateral-flow-tests.221729/ I have recently ordered another set of rapid lateral flow tests. It came with a note asking you to read the instructions carefully as they may be slightly different from any others that you have previously used.
I haven't used any from my new pack yet, but the main difference that I noticed was that with my new ones it would appear that you only have to stick the swab up your nose, whereas with my previous ones you had to touch the back of your throat with the swab first and then stick it up your nose.
Yesterday one of my colleagues seemed to think that the ones that you only stick up your nose were for children. Does anyone know if this is indeed the case? If so I don't remember knowingly ticking a box on the online order form requesting a children's testing kit rather than an adult one. I didn't even know that there were different testing kits for adults and children.
If what my colleague thought is correct, then I can only assume that I was sent the wrong type of testing kit in error or that I ticked the wrong box by mistake when I ordered it online.
