U.S. Government Will Pay You $3,000 to Just Lay Around for Nine Days

I'm sure your first thought is that this is some kind of scam, but it's true. The U.S. government will pay you $3,000, and all you'll have to do is lay around for nine days and be infected with the flu. Possibly, the swine flu!

The National Institutes of Health is in the middle of a massive clinical research study to find a cure for the flu and they now need to test it on humans. So they're looking for volunteers who are willing to be infected with all different forms of the flu including H1N1 swine flu.

Only healthy adults need apply. Doctors at the National Institutes of Health
will spray millions of microscopic particles of flu virus up the nostrils of each volunteer. The dose is intended to cause mild to moderate symptoms.

Volunteers will then spend nine days quarantined inside a special isolation ward at the NIH hospital so they don't spread the germs and can be closely monitored.

If you're interested you can apply at the official National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease's website or call 1-800-411-1222.
