A studio manager got the shock of their life when they found a SLUG in their lateral flow test. <br /><br />Sophs Forte, 28, was horrified to find a SLUG in their lateral flow test. <br /><br />Sophs, from Norwich, Norfolk, told how they had picked up a box of Flowflex lateral flow tests, which are available from the NHS, from their local pharmacy. <br /><br />But when the Creative Studio Manager opened one up on December 16 – they got the shock of their life. <br /><br />To Sophs’ horror, inside one of the plastic vials containing the test solution was what appeared to be a SLUG. <br /><br />Their reaction was to yell “What the f*** - there’s a slug!” before launching the vial – and the entire box of tests – into the bin. <br /><br />Sophs said: “I pulled one of the vials and immediately spotted something black – and I quickly realised what it was. <br /><br />“I shouted to my family but nobody believed it until I showed them. <br /><br />“It was just squashed in there – luckily it wasn’t moving.” <br /><br />They said after the initial shock, the funny side kicked in. <br /><br />Sophs said: “As disgusting as it is, I found it quite funny. <br /><br />“I have no idea how a slug would even have ended up in there – at what point in the production line would that happen?! <br /><br />“Well... the slug was declining to answer. <br /><br />“I’m not blaming the NHS, they’ve worked hard enough and have a lot on.<br /><br />"I don't know what happened or how.<br /><br />"But keep an eye on your Covid tests!"<br /><br />FLOWFLEX HAS BEEN APPROACHED FOR COMMENT.<br /><br />ENDS
