Blood Faecal Occult

Haemoccult Test: A small sample of faeces is smeared onto a piece of card.

You obtain a sample by using a small scrapper to scrape some faeces off toilet tissue which you have just used after going to the toilet.

A chemical is added to the sample on the card. If there is a change in colour after adding the chemical, it indicates that some blood is present.
