Need to follow up on that--thanks for reminding me!
Yes, but most people won't do that. Then, many are disappointed with the results. I have seen some mighty wacky results from that swab test.

I always encourage people to spend the few extra dollars for the blood test. If they do the test, I don't believe they are doing it for fun...I think they really want to know. Why spend $75 for fun? To me it makes more sense to spend $60 more and get more accurate results...UNLESS they want to play CSI like you.
