    I don't think you'd be able to buy the bacteria tests to do at home. The samples will be taken away and processed in a laboratory. You need specialist equipment and the process will be too complicated for the general public to do. I don't mean to sound big headed but I used to work in a microbiology lab, and you need to be trained in how to handle samples as it's very easy to contaminate them by simply handling them.

    Some labs may offer home testing, but based on what the lab I was in charged factories, it will be expensive. I used to get swabs from people in food factories to make sure they were washing their hands and not going outside in their indoor shoes, as well as swabs from the machinery to make sure that was clean.
    Here I go again on my own....

    THANKS for responding! Thought it might have been like the way you can do blood sugar tests, blood pressure tests, ketone tests, glucose tests, etc, at home.
