Free Mexican holidays offered to diarrhoea vaccine guinea pigs

Free Mexican holidays offered to diarrhoea vaccine guinea pigs - Telegraph: "A US vaccine manufacturer has come up with a novel way to tempt young people to test its drugs: free holidays to Mexico.

Intercell is offering free flights and hotel accommodation up to the value of $1,600 to 900 volunteers who are prepared to test a remedy for one of the most common holiday afflictions – travellers' diarrhoea.In the 'Trek Study', willing backpackers who develop travellers diarrhoea will be paid to attend a clinic and injected with a new agent to see how they react, the Independent reports."
