During the Second Seminole War, between 1835 and 1842, the US Army operated Fort Dulany at Punta Rassa, at the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River. When a hurricane destroyed Fort Dulany in October 1841, army operations were moved up the Caloosahatchee River to a site named Fort Harvie. Fort Harvie was abandoned in 1842, as the Second Seminole War wound down. After a white trader was killed by Seminoles on the Peace River in 1849, the Army returned to the Caloosahatchee River in 1850. The new Fort Myers was built on the burned ruins of Fort Harvie. The fort was named for Brevet Colonel Abraham Charles Myers, quartermaster for the Army's Department of Florida. It covered about 139 acres (56 ha), and soon had 57 buildings, including a two-story blockhouse that was pictured in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, and a 1,000-foot-long (300 m) wharf at which ships could dock. Irvin Solomon notes that Fort Myers was described "as 'one of the finest and largest' forts of the Seminole Wars". It was abandoned in 1858, at the end of the Third Seminole War.

Choosing the Right Drug Test Panel

"Drug testing panels" define screening groups by the number of substances tested—such as a 5-panel, 10-panel, or 12-panel drug tests. Customized screenings are also available.

Understanding Drug Tests

Drug testing involves analyzing a biological sample—like urine, hair, blood, breath, or saliva—to detect the presence or absence of specific substances or their metabolites. Relevant applications include detecting performance-enhancing drugs in sports, screening for illegal substances by employers and legal authorities, and measuring blood alcohol content (BAC) using breathalyzers. Various testing methods exist, each with unique accuracy, sensitivity, and detection duration. Drug tests can also quantify illegal substances to encourage safe usage practices.

Does Passive Inhalation Trigger a False Positive for Marijuana?

Passive marijuana smoke inhalation is not considered a valid explanation for a positive test result, as detection thresholds exceed levels likely achieved through secondary inhalation.

Anomalies in urine tests might suggest a false negative or indicate deliberate sample tampering. For instance:

  • Low creatinine levels might signal tampering, possibly via overhydration or dilution with additional water.
  • Creatinine measurements and specific gravity can reveal if dilution occurred. Labs may dye toilet water blue to foil tampering efforts.
  • Enzyme additives may affect a sample's pH, a change caught during testing.

Duration of Drug Detectability

The detection window in drug tests varies based on numerous factors, such as:

  • Quantity of the drug consumed
  • Frequency of use
  • Type of substance used
  • Individual metabolism and general health
  • Fluid intake since consumption
  • Physical activity level post-consumption
  • Genetic factors affecting drug response

Local Area Info: Fort Myers, Florida

Fort Myers or Ft. Myers, is the county seat and commercial center of Lee County, Florida, United States. It has grown rapidly in recent years. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 62,298 and in 2017 was estimated at 79,943.

Fort Myers is a gateway to the Southwest Florida region and a major tourist destination within Florida. The winter estates of Thomas Edison ("Seminole Lodge") and Henry Ford ("The Mangoes") are major attractions. The city is named after Colonel Abraham Myers.

Spain originally had colonial influence in Florida, succeeded by Great Britain and, lastly, the United States. During the American Indian Wars of the 1830s, the United States built Fort Myers as one of the first forts along the Caloosahatchee River; it was used as a base of operations against the Seminole. During the Seminole Wars and Indian Removal period, Fort Myers was a strategic location, with access to Atlantic waterways. While many Seminole were forced to remove to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River, others used their knowledge of the Everglades and Florida wilderness to resist the Americans. They were never defeated and two federally recognized Seminole tribes still control some of their historic territory.

Irvin Solomon notes that Fort Myers was described "as 'one of the finest and largest' forts of the Seminole Wars". It was abandoned in 1858, at the end of the Third Seminole War.
