Kit for and method of testing occult blood in feces

A kit for detecting occult blood in feces, comprising

• (i) a package configured to be opened and closed that, when opened, allows an absorbent sheet and a sealed friable packet to be placed within the package through an opening, and that when closed, provides a waterproof seal of the package with said absorbent sheet and said sealed friable packet located inside the package,
• said absorbent sheet impregnated with a guaiac material and said sealed friable packet enclosing a hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution that upon compression releases from the packet the solution that remains in the package when the opening is closed while the packet is within the sealed package,
• said package closed to prevent the escape of liquid from the package and said packet positioned in the package with respect to the absorbent sheet so that manually compressing the packet while within the package breaks the packet to release the solution which is retained in the closed package and impregnates the absorbent sheet, and
• (ii) a separate dispenser of a test solution that on release and contact with the absorbent sheet produces a color change on the absorbent sheet that confirms that the absorbent sheet is still reactive,
• said dispenser comprising a dropper bottle containing the test solution and adapted to be manually squeezed to release a drop of the test solution on the absorbent sheet.
