5 days is a LONG estimate. First, the amount is small, and 5 days is a pretty long time for a test to detect it. More likley to be a FALSE reading. don't get a hair test... it might show the previous dose (correctly), but, make sure they save a specimen for confirmation with a good test if it were positive (most likely a false positive).
