Swamp Frog Pregnancy Test Shown At War Medical Meet
Xenopus laevis, a South African swamp frog costing 25 cents, is touted as the quickest pregnancy test. Demonstrated to the American Medical Association in Atlantic City, the frog reportedly diagnoses pregnancy three days after the patient believes she is pregnant, beating rabbit tests by one to two weeks. Doctors Abner J. Weisman and Christopher W. Coates credit the frog’s eggs as proof of pregnancy and note the method is cheaper than rabbits even with war-time price boosts.
