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.

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