What's involved in this test, and how does it work?

Hi Janita, here is the Time to Screen website. There's a video showing how the test works -- it's a little dip-stick you dip into a poo (in the toilet) and then seal up and send back to the lab for testing. They test for blood traces in the poo. www.timetoscreen.nz/bowel-screening/doing-the-bowel-screening-test/
