I saw an advert on Facebook for a place called FluCamp, so I visited their website and basically, they administer you the common cold virus and you have to stay in bed monitored for 12 days (with no visitors). You get paid up to £3500 for it, but the thing that puts me off is all the blood tests etc that they have to do. I hate needles! Have you or would you ever try something like this?

[Lostie!]

Nope, wouldn't want to take the risk after the horror stories you hear.

[LukeB]

If it's safe then maybe

did you not watch the recent dramatisation of that horrific case?

[Littlegreen]

I saw a horror movie based around those trials. I probably would do it if I was that in need of the money.

[Nicky91]

for money if it was lots of money, millions then yes otherwise no

common cold wouldn't be too bad I suppose that said would you really want to feel rough for 12 days if you didn't have to, and 12 days in bed, sounds great but you would probably be stir crazy after a few days, and yeah there have been horror stories but they have been with drugs administered this looks like flu virus so just the flu jab with active virus instead of inactive one, I might if I needed cash, what can go wrong as long as it is just common cold of course..

[arista]

Yes the Young should do it
Make sure you have the Cash deal sorted first

[Marsh.]

I don't know. 12 days in bed for £3, 500 sounds decent but it's not your own bed, you can't see anyone and it could go wrong.

For that kind of money definitely..do you have the link?

Edit. Found it, and spoke to Gavin just no and he doesn't seem impressed

Edit again. 'Thank you for your application.'

[Withano]

I reccomend people doing **** like this because recruiting is so ****ing difficult haha.

I'd imagine they're gonna give half the participants a placebo so they can test the effectiveness of some new drug against a baseline probs. 50% chance of easy money, 50% chance of suffering. Worth it!

[smudgie]

I might as well.
Forever getting tested and blood taken, mind you a good cold might see me off

[Morgan.]

Can you use your phone etc because I have TiBB and YouTube to keep me occupied for 12 days! And also just sleep!

It's essentially like Big Brother except you ain't on TV, you're on your own and you might get ill.

omg screaming I'd do one but I don't want to have to go down to London

[Vanessa]

No, I'm not risking my health for any amount of money.

[Marsh.]

Knowing my luck, I'd come home with MRSA.

[reece(:]

Someone did a coffee trial at my uni and this is what happened

[Marsh.]

Wow, our children really are getting dumber with every generation.

[Toy Soldier]

I'd have a cold for 3.5k, why not.

I wouldn't touch anything involving experimental drugs, though .

[bitontheslide]

bear in mind the side effects that all the commonly available drugs have AFTER having gone through clinical trials. Multiply that 100 fold at least and you are getting close to the potential side effects you may experience. Also, how many drugs have been discontinued after 10 or 20 years in the field, and you are accepting the risk of trying something not on the market yet. If your life depended on it, its worth the risk, otherwise ... don't go near it
