But then what do I do with it ? Test it at home with something I have to go get or do I have to send it so some underground laboratory in Zimbabwe that charges like $15 a test ? lol Maybe I'll just google dna testing and see what comes up.Nick wrote:You could probably get enough DNA from a skin rubbing with a Qtip, PCR dna replication and testing works with TINY amounts of DNA, a cheek swabbing from a person is enough, I'd imagine you'd only have to rub through the slime coat a tiny bit to get a sample, minimal discomfort.

Maybe a local university could help you, I'm sure they would have the equipment... might be worth a shot at least.
