Can you use a test strip that you have dropped?

I certainly have! They're too precious to waste. ( OK, maybe I wouldn't if I'd dropped somewhere really gross and didn't want to touch anything that had been on that floor)
 
I've certainly used them if dropped on my lap the settee etc for example and obviously before I've put the blood on them

We have used them after dropping them. we dropped a whole tub of them the other day and I wasn't going to waste them! Xx
 
Providing it hasn't landed in a puddle of jam or sugar or similar it shouldn't affect it, if you get a bizarre reading double check with a new strip

I wouldn't use them if I dropped them in the potty...... But that's just me!!!!
 
As the others have said, it depends where you drop it... But if it's only on the carpet and not in a puddle of anything then it doesn't do it any harm!
 
LOL - I was going to say as long as what it landed in wasn't wet or disgusting then yes they're fine. The Roche ones are impossible to get out of any new tub one at a time and I very often tip em all out to get one, when it's taking me too long.
