A studio manager got the shock of their life when they found a SLUG in their lateral flow test.

Sophs Forte, 28, was horrified to find a SLUG in their lateral flow test.

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.

But when the Creative Studio Manager opened one up on December 16 – they got the shock of their life.

To Sophs’ horror, inside one of the plastic vials containing the test solution was what appeared to be a SLUG.

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.

Sophs said: “I pulled one of the vials and immediately spotted something black – and I quickly realised what it was.

“I shouted to my family but nobody believed it until I showed them.

“It was just squashed in there – luckily it wasn’t moving.”

They said after the initial shock, the funny side kicked in.

Sophs said: “As disgusting as it is, I found it quite funny.

“I have no idea how a slug would even have ended up in there – at what point in the production line would that happen?!

“Well... the slug was declining to answer.

“I’m not blaming the NHS, they’ve worked hard enough and have a lot on.

"I don't know what happened or how.

"But keep an eye on your Covid tests!"

FLOWFLEX HAS BEEN APPROACHED FOR COMMENT.
