I remember the Genographic Project kit said to scrape, but not hard enough for blood to flow. It never mentioned the conseqences. My #1 sample did contain a small amount of my blood, then I read the warning between samples. My second scraping was bloodless.
My deep SNP test was late a couple of days because they had some difficulties with the first go at it. It may have been the blood or the food warning that I ignored. I had eaten an arrowroot cookie a few minutes before taking the swab to my mouth.
The greatest problem I have with this is that uploading to Y-search is done by complete rookies in these web sites. I was enthusiastic about the latest names of sub-clades and probably mistakenly put mine down as E3b1a rather than E3b1. Afterward I forgot my password and haven't gotten an automatic response to "forgot your password" after lots of tries.
