Earlier, I signed up to be in the NARCOMS database of people with MS who have DNA and can spit.
The scientific spitting supplies have arrived!
Tube for spit:
VERY exciting baggie to hold the spit:
And there are instructions that I must put the tube of spit in the exciting baggie and take the EXEMPT HUMAN SPECIMEN padded envelope to the nearest Post Office as soon as possible. That’s so it stays fresh. Can’t just let the spit sit in the kitchen for a week.
Spitting for science. I have never done so little, for so many.
