I will only do an at home one. I personally would NEVER insert the swab provided in the test kit directly into my nose to collect material for the test. Here is what I do, which is unconventional. This is definitely not medical advice, but I prayed for a solution to take the test, but to be as cautious as possible.
Take a fresh out of the box swab, like the q-tip brand.Swab the inside of your nose with the q-tip more vigorously than what is recommended for the package test. You got to get more material as it will be transferred to the test kit swab.Be careful to not touch the q-tip to anything but the inside of your nose. You don't want to contaminate it !
Rub the q-tip material onto the test kit swab. Make sure you get it well covered. Then, finish the test as indicated on the test kit instructions.
