    Have the option to go in tomorrow for four days. They give you a dose of allergy medicine (similar to claritin) and basically just monitor you until it's out of your system, generally a day or two for this drug, but they double up on everything to ensure safety.

    This will be the third human trial for this particular drug and it's heavily tested (in high doses) on pigs/monkeys/etc. before it gets anywhere near human testing. I asked for the regulation manual and it's like a telephone book.

    Health > money for sure... but all the side effects currently found were minimal, like upset stomach or constipation. Plus it's a double-blind study, so half the people get placebo. There's a pool table, big screen TV, foosball, wii, internet, etc. so I can basically take my laptop and have grind on the mind for a few days while they monitor me.

    It's $1200. Probably going to do it.

    Covance ... http://www.testwiththebest.com/study-finder/

    Six cities in the US with testing facilities. Each study can vary greatly in money and time required... this is one of the low-end ones. They can get up to $7,000 multiple required stays (4 weekends in row, etc.).

    If anyone lives close and goes in for screening, PM me. I get $100 for recommending people, I'll split it with ya.
