Free holiday in 2010
« on: December 29, 2009, 03:35:13 PM »
Volunteers are being sought to go on a free trip to Mexico - the catch is they have to test a diarrhoea drug.

The willing travellers from the UK and Germany will be given ?1,400 by a drug firm for flights and accommodation to Mexico or Guatemala. They will be free to eat and drink what they choose on their holiday.

In return they will be asked to test a diarrhoea remedy, administered through a patch that is worn on the arm for six hours, three weeks before departure. Some of the holidaymakers will be given a placebo to act as a control group.

The U.S. vaccine manufacturer Intercell is looking for 1,800 people aged 18 to 64 to take part in the 'Trek Study.'

They can roam up to three hours travelling time from the designated medical centre, but need to return to have regular blood tests and give stool samples if they develop an upset stomach.
