Wisconsin.

And I know the people who do this. AFAIK They freeze it first so it doesn't smell as bad, and use a fume hood. Your smelly poo poo goes out the exhaust fan.

What if your poop tumor just starts growing while in mail and bursts out of the box, assimilating everything in its vicinity into more cancerous turds

The commercials make it sound so not good at detecting cancer that I'm surprised that their slogan isn't "People won't think you are gay for having a colonoscopy. Probably."

I feel like pooping in a box would be hard. Like you'd have to balance, and aim could be an issue too. Maybe you could get a spotter to move it around for you?

I guess you could just fish it out of the toilet, but that's the sort of job I'm paying Wisconsinites to do. I aint touching that, even with gloves.

I was told to not mail my poop to people because I could get charged with bio weapon dispersion? I think I even searched it and was convinced based on the research. Granted, this was more than a few years ago.

All I can imagine is a cardboard box but a decently sized one like the size of your head and you have to fill up the box and then pack your poop down until it perfectly fits inside the box like a cube which they then slide out at the cancer place and it comes out as a perfect poop square which somehow doesn't smell or ruin its shape and it has the consistency of dusty clay.

This was the first mental image I got when I thought about it. Like my first involuntary mental image, it took about 2 seconds of thought for it to coalesce.

Also if the poop isn't perfectly cube or crumbles they send it back and you have to try again but they can tell if you just supplemented the old cube with new poop to fix the shape because the old poop is kind of light dusty brown and they'll send it back again but this time charge you return shipping.

That was my first thought

Only took me two tries, but the first time I had diarrhea (made a mess) so I don’t think that’s a real knock on the degree of difficulty. YMMV: Have never heard of cologuard before, don’t know their boxing requirements.

Iirc my wife had a medical issue where she had to save poop. They gave her a toilet seat contraption like a hammock. I didn’t get too personally involved in the operational aspects though. She was fine btw.

If you are going to commit a hilarious prank by sending in a box of poop to an unsuspecting victim, make sure you don't use your own product because it can be easily traced. Coax your enemy to poop on you before commencing with your devilish ploy!

What's the false negative rate? If there are no false negatives and 15% false positives that's actually not bad at all. It means "get your poo poo checked out" but not literally because you already did that.

I had to get my poop in a little plastic tube to send to some lab to make sure I didn't have 3rd world parasites. It was an awkward process. Had to use a plastic spoon or something.

No, real question is what the true positive rate is. If 1 in 10000 people are actually positive, and 15% come back positive, then the vast majority of positive results are false.
