      No, you're supposed to ram the q-tip back into your brain. You want brain material on the swab.
      Jabbing sinuses and scraping out grey matter is crucial for study.
      Do it or else!

      Yes! They are ticklish! It helps to apply a LITTLE bit of pressure on the outside with your finger during the 5 seconds per nostril . . . or do the 2nd method where you insert deep back, which I found not ticklish.

      That is likely just an evaporation line. They happen with any liquid tests including pregnancy and ovulation tests.
