      Interesting....because US mail handles them all the time...was
unfortunately the recipient of such a kit with my last physical...and the
little 'smear areas' where the minute amount is put is sealed up, and that
little container (about 3x5 inches by 1/4 inch thick) goes in a Tyvek
envelope (that stuff you can't tear) and is mailed in to lab and doc
sends you a postcard someday, hopefully saying you don't need further
