the poop test

For most physical check ups they check your poop for large intestine cancer (not sure but maybe small intestine too?!)

Two days before your appointment you gotta take samples

This is the thingy you put your samples into

the directions...unscrew the cap 

The cap has a little "brush" at the end for you to "touch" the poop with to take the sample

Then put the cap with brush back into the container which already has some testing liquid in it then you turn these in when you go for your physical

Some kits also give you a tissue thingy to line the toilet so that you can "catch" the poop for you to take the sample

That tissue thingy usually stresses me out because if the tissue touches the water it starts to disintegrate

If there is no tissue thingy, some kits tell you to sit facing the toilet tank so that the front part of the bowl will catch the poop

I usually pour a large amount of water into the toilet bowl to "drain" the water, then I can take the sample without having to hurry

I haven't done this test in several years now, so I don't miss doing this and I also don't miss the barium test which gives you white poop
