After further violence, Austin halted an attempt to destroy their village in retaliation. In 1825, he made a treaty with them. The Waco were eventually pushed out of the region, settling north near present-day Fort Worth. In 1872, they were moved onto a reservation in Oklahoma with other Wichita tribes. In 1902, the Waco received allotments of land and became official US citizens. Neil McLennan settled in an area near the South Bosque River in 1838. Jacob De Cordova bought McLennan's property and hired a former Texas Ranger and surveyor named George B. Erath to inspect the area. In 1849, Erath designed the first block of the city. Property owners wanted to name the city Lamartine, but Erath convinced them to name the area Waco Village, after the Indians who had lived there. In March 1849, Shapley Ross built the first house in Waco, a double-log cabin, on a bluff overlooking the springs. His daughter Kate was the first settler child to be born in Waco.

Select the Right Drug Testing Panel for You

Panels dictate the number of drugs screened. Common options include 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, with custom screenings available.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test analyzes biological samples like urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva to detect drug presence. They're used in sports, workplaces, legal settings, and more. Tests vary in detection accuracy, thresholds, and timing. They can also identify illegal substances for informed usage.

Can Passive Smoke Inhalation Trigger a False Positive for Marijuana?

“Passive” smoke from others' marijuana use typically doesn’t cause false positives, as lab thresholds are set well above passive exposure levels.

Unusual urine screen results might suggest false negatives or sample tampering. For instance:

  • Low creatinine levels may indicate dilution, either by excessive water consumption or water added to the sample prior to testing.
  • Creatinine is often checked alongside specific gravity to ascertain if the sample is diluted. Labs may dye toilet water to prevent sample dilution.
  • Introducing enzymes to the sample can alter stability but often changes the pH, which is tested as well.

Drug Duration in the Body

Detection varies by drug type, usage frequency, dose taken, personal metabolism, health, fluid intake, and exercise level.
