But if I can do it just a few at a time, I can handle it and keep Skylark's good will.
The important thing is to get the root. They actually only use 4 - 5 hairs for the test. The rest is stored for future testing if needed. For instance in case of a parentage verification that doesn't really quite match. Also they take 1/2 of the hair and store it at another location from the main lab. This is in case of a fire or some other disaster should occur and destroy all of the stored samples. That is why they need so many.
