You know that thing where you’re really sick and things are getting a bit grim in terms of life expectancy in your household, but then the doctor is all, “WAIT! I have a plan!”

Kaitlin Hunter: Full of...oh hell...it's too easy.

But then it turns out his plan is for your mom to poop inside of you? 

I mean, we’ve all been there before, amiright? Right, guys?

Guys?

After surviving a near-fatal car accident, Kaitlin Hunter found herself battling a devastating bacterial infection in her colon that also threatened her life.

The persistent infection was beaten through a little-known technique involving the transplant of fecal matter from Hunter’s mother, which put healthy bacteria back into her colon.

Following the July procedure, “I’ve been so happy,” said Hunter, 20, of Marietta, Georgia. “I’m cured.”

Go read the entire, crazy-go-nuts, OMFGSience account of how a fecal transplant saved Kaitlin Hunter’s life RIGHT NOW.

How many times do you think ol’ ma has lorded her transploop over Kaitlin so far? Because I would be calling out every little fib. “Kaitlin, you are full of shit! And I should know, because it’s mine.”

In any case, one imagines there are going to be some awesome Thanksgiving dinner table stories told at the Hunters this year.

Would YOU be down for a life-saving scoop of mom’s waste? How about your worst enemy? Is there somebody’s fecal matter that’s just not worth saving your life over?
