Literal Loose Stool

One day I came to work and there was a turd on the floor. Nobody knew where it came from.

After a bit of investigating, we finally found out what happened.

We had an H. pylori stool antigen test, and the preferred source was fresh frozen stool. Somehow, we had an escapee and we finally got to the bottom of the stinky mystery. That day, we had a literal loose stool in the lab.
