If you think that weird things happen only in movies, then you are probably wrong. After listening to what we are going to tell you, you might think that this is a joke, but it is not. An American company 'Human Microbes' is claiming that your feces can save someone's life and in return they are ready to give you a huge amount of money.
In the promotional video of the company, a woman is saying that if you are young, healthy and physically fit, then her company wants you to donate feces. It is also told in the video that she can give you 500 dollars (about 41 thousand rupees) for one stool sample and if you are ready to donate feces daily, then she can give you up to 180,000 dollars (about 1.4 crore rupees) annually.
How will your poop save your life?
The company believes that a mixture of bacteria found in the feces of a healthy person can be beneficial for sick people, especially those suffering from serious intestinal diseases. This process is called fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), in which a processed sample of feces from a healthy person is inserted into the intestines of a sick person. The company claims that this can not only cure intestinal diseases but can also benefit serious mental health problems.
Who can donate?
The company is currently accepting stool donations, primarily from people in the US and Canada. But, their website states that if you live anywhere in the world and can send them your stool with dry ice, you can also become a donor.
About the Company
Human Microbes was founded by Michael Harrop in 2020. The company aims to develop new medicines through the study of bacteria obtained from feces.
Is it true?
FMT is a new but rapidly growing field. However, there is not yet enough research to prove that it can treat all types of intestinal diseases or mental health problems.
