yee gods you learn something every day, never in my wildest dreams did I think of this
Australia's first public stool bank is paying people to donate their poo for faecal transplants

Kristy Wildy did not know she could get paid for donating her poo, but it was an unexpected bonus for the 55-year-old who has been contributing for the past 12 months.

Key points:
A lab in Adelaide is paying people to donate their stool
It is used for faecal transplants around Australia
The treatment is particularly useful for people with gut infections
Ms Wildy has been a blood donor for years, and she said donating her stool was a no-brainer.

"I wanted to become a donor because I thought I was a fairly healthy person and I would have something to contribute," she said.

Ms Wildy donates about three or four times a week and said the process was quick and easy.

She said the $25-per-donation payment was a bonus and could be lucrative, depending on donation rates.

"I had no idea that I would get paid — that wasn't even in my mind, it was just kind of an unexpected bonus," she said.

"The fact that it works so well, it's so quick and the effects are so long-lasting, I thought, 'Well, maybe I can help'."

Ms Wildy goes to BiomeBank, Australia's first public stool bank at their newly expanded lab in the inner-western Adelaide suburb of Thebarton to donate her stool.
