MARYLAND — Getting sick with the flu could get you a couple of Gs from scientists eager to study the pesky little virus.<br /><br />According to WBALTV, researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases are looking for volunteers to participate in a flu study, for the generous sum of $3,300.<br /><br />All participants need to do is get the H1N1 virus sprayed up their sniffer, and stay a week in an inpatient facility until they stop being infectious.<br /><br />During that time, researchers are hoping to glean as much information as they can from the sneezing, heaving, feverish virus-filled volunteers. Sounds like a lovely time.<br /><br />Curiously, there's not much info about treatment, but it's a medical facility — surely they'll administer one...right?<br /><br />Guess there's at least the sweet sweet cash. Worth it?
