$500 Per Poop? Here's the Scoop

You’ve probably heard the wild claim—HumanMicrobes.org says they'll pay you up to $180,000 a year just for donating your poop. Sounds ridiculous, but there’s some truth behind it.

It’s based on FMT (fecal microbiota transplant), a real medical treatment for gut-related issues. Your stool, if it’s "elite" enough, could be valuable for research and treatment.

But here’s what they don’t tell you upfront:

• The screening is extremely strict.
• Less than 0.1% of applicants actually qualify.
• You need to be in near-perfect health, with top-tier gut bacteria.

Some people have made money. Others? They’ve applied and never heard back.

And here’s the twist—HumanMicrobes.org isn’t run by a licensed doctor. While FMT is legit, the site itself has raised concerns over transparency and safety.

So yeah, it’s technically real. But easy money? Not even close.
