    The hell was she doing on the factory line to get her DNA on all the swabs?

      Existing. People shed DNA all over. Most of the dust in your house is human skin and hair (or that of your pets). Non-sterile swabs are probably just packed with bare hands, by someone in their regular clothing.

        Right, but there would be many people packing swabs in the plant. Unless she has psoriasis, the amount of skin she sheds at one time wouldn’t contaminate all of the swabs she touched with her hands, much less all of the swabs in the factory.

            Not even close. Sweat barely contains any DNA, and while theoretically a person could sweat enough to leave behind enough dna to be identified, it hasn’t ever happened and would require copious amounts of concentrated sweat. Her hands would have to be constantly dripping with sweat, and this happened several times in several countries between 2001 and 2008. Maybe sweaty hands could contaminate one or two cotton swabs, but all of them over the course of several years? No.

      She was shoving each and every swab up her ass. Her ass swabs she called them. In conversations it gave her the upper hand. Check your bathroom, inside? Her ass swabs. Something in your ear had been up her ass!

      Probably not all the swabs. Maybe just packaging. That way her DNA would’ve only gone to some swabs and thus making it take longer to find the error.

        Actually that’s brilliant. Like the plot of a Law and Order: SVU episode.
