Can Eating Lychees Cause a False DUI Reading? Media Investigation: Yes, But Don’t Panic
A recent report tested claims that lychees could trigger false positives on breathalyzer tests. Results showed brief, elevated readings after lychee consumption, potentially reaching within legal DUI limits. However, these effects quickly subside, returning to near-undetectable levels within minutes. Authorities advise retesting if a false positive is suspected, as similar issues can be caused by other foods and products.
