Yeas. Toxins in the body including chemical poisons, trace minerals, heavy metals and drugs can be detected through blood, urine, saliva and hair follicle testing.
In case of acute chemical or drug poisoning, the detection of these substances can be done until it is eliminated completely from the body.
Minerals and heavy metals tend to persists longer after the final episode of exposure and can be detected in hair follicles for long periods of time
