If they told you that you can earn up to 13,000 euros selling your feces, would you believe it? Believe it! It seems to be true.
But who would want to buy your stool? For what purpose can you want to deal with fecal matter? These wastes? Are they useful for anything? Here we tell you.
Stool claimants
The idea came from the non-profit organization called OpenBiome .organization, from the United States, pays millions of dollars each year in exchange for receiving fecal matter.The organization commits to pay 250 dollars a week, approximately 232 euros, to those people who donate their feces .
Although OpenBiome has been the first stool bank dedicated to collecting feces and selling them, there are other organizations with the same purpose .For example, MIT, a bank also created for these purposes.
It is important to know that to be a donor of feces you have to pass some thorough studies .Not anyone can be a donor.The requirements are pe Healthy people whose feces are clean . OpenBiome is the most demanding organization in this regard. Few are the donors who manage to enter .
For what purpose?
What is the purpose of this demand is what we may be thinking right now. What do these organizations want people's feces for?
This stool is used for a good cause: investigate an infection caused by the bacteria Clostridium difficile . This bacterium is present in almost 10% of the population .Is it serious? It depends on the circumstances and whether or not the infection has been caught on time.
Although its effectiveness is still being studied, what is true is that the public hospital Gregorio Maranon in Madrid is already ready to make the first stool transplant (intestinal microbiotic transplant).With this, it would be possible to transplant healthy stools in the intestine of sick people with the aim of ending infections that cause diarrhea and fever, among other conditions.
As we have seen, it is surprising that we can earn money by donating our feces, but it is.What is most important? Be healthy to contribute to this good cause that seeks to investigate, help and remunerate anyone who wishes to help.
Would you dare to donate your stool? Do you think it's a good idea? We look forward to your opinions.
