Contamination and risk of disease. Most test kits contain some type of bodily fluid. You don't know anything about the person from which these bodily fluids came. They could have any number of diseases.
Contamination skews the results. If you're doing a DNA test and you contaminate the sample, the results will not be accurate. If you're doing blood work on someone and chemicals or whatever get into the vial, you're running the chance of masking or creating a problem.
If the test kits aren't used properly by the individual (there are a wide array of home test kits now that you can ship into a lab and have analyzed) then the results will be false or skewed.
