Okay, I get it. But I'm still not sure if I'd be able to take them!

The infection is called Clostridium Difficile, and it can cause debilitating diarrhea & even be life-threatening. Doctors have found that people who suffer from it can benefit greatly from a fecal transplant. Yep, that's right: a poop transplant. It involves a colonoscopy from a close relative, who would then make the "donation."

Obviously, this was hard for people to comprehend. So doctors have come up with a solution: put the fecal transplant into a capsule and freeze it.

So far, the pill has worked for the test group who've used it. They say it's not as gross when it comes out of the freezer. Still...I don't know if I could do it!
