I can't exactly plan my morning bathroom trips... so now I'm stuck wondering how old the sample can actually be? If anyone knows, please let me know! I tried asking the doctors at the clinic, but they're super busy and honestly, they live way too far from me to just pop in and ask.
Just like urine, you gotta get that stool sample to the lab within 2 hours. Otherwise, stick it in the fridge at maybe 40°F, but definitely don't leave it longer than 24 hours.
