We get CBC results Friday. IBD PCR could be up to 2 weeks. I probably won't be sleeping for 2 weeks.

The hand sanitizer you used in the container that held the used/reused substrate... is it possible some residue from that could have permeated the substrate? What's in it?
Also, what kind of soap do you use? It can be hard to get every single trace of it, even with rinsing. Any dyes, fragrances, chemicals?
I'm also suspicious of the bathtub cleanser. Lysol in particular is something I've been warned against using anywhere near snakes.
Those 3 things all popped out at me as possibilities for chemical exposure.
