Yes I did this and so did the vet - and it didnt turn red or have a red aura. From that conclusion she went straight to soil then when I told he it couldn't be soil she said just to monitor but not worry - Surely any good vet would try to figure out what it was and where it was coming from - honest you should of seen the size of some of the clumps I took in they were HUGE ! It took all of two minutes on google for me to learn afterwards as to what it could be ! Got to go back tomorrow night and will have to discuss it with them
