Now you can sell your healthy poop for $13,000/year

If you're looking for an opportunity to make some extra cash with something you have been doing for free for years, you're in luck.

You can now donate your poop (your HEALTHY poop) in the name of health and science.

You can donate blood, plasma, eggs, and sperm. Why not poop? Yes, your feces are perhaps your greatest untapped monetary resource. Thanks to a nonprofit organization called OpenBiome, you can cash in to the tune of $13,000 a year -- and save lives while you're at it. (WaPo)

EliteDaily describes the process:

The samples go to aid those with Clostridium difficile, an infection, commonly acquired in hospitals, that causes inflammation of the colon.

Thanks to OpenBiome's efforts toward spreading awareness of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT), many C difficile sufferers are able to leave their homes and rid themselves of infection.

Instead of patients and care providers seeking out fecal matter themselves, OpenBiome provides a steady supply of pre-tested poop to shorten each person's waiting time.

The donations ($40 per sample) are frozen, then make their way to the patient's gastrointestinal tract by way of capsule or endoscopy.
