Zinc oxide is the metal zinc that has been oxidized. The chemical formula is ZnO, 1 zinc atom and 1 oxygen atom held together by an ionic bond. Zinc oxide does occur in nature as the mineral zincite, but it is quite rare and commercially unavailable.
I have done a few stool samples in my time and have always just stored them in the fridge, until the next day to take them into the docs. Good luck hun I hope they get it sorted.
Your doctor may ask for a sample of âpoop,â (or in doctor terms: your feces, or stool). But, only about one in five people already at their doctorâs office with diarrhea will give a stool sample. And, they are more likely to give one if the diarrhea is bloody or has lasted more than three days. Testing the stool sample is important to track the âwho, what, when, where, and whyâ of foodborne disease. Other people may also be ill with the same germ that you have, because they also ate the same tainted food.
