A TIKTOKER has revealed that those who are struggling to make ends meet can make $180,000 a year by becoming stool donors.
Cash-strapped citizens have pursued a range of side hustles as they try to rake in some extra cash amid inflation and the cost of living crises.
Those keen on donating their poop can sign up at the stool networking firm Human Microbes.
Founder Michael Harrap said healthy stools can be used to advance medical treatment, helping those who have battled chronic diseases.
Donors are paid $500 per stool, meaning they could earn a whopping $180,000 a year.
Candidates must complete a questionnaire, verify their poop, have an interview, and undergo blood testing as part of the application process.
Experts claim that only 0.1 percent of people have the healthiest stools.
The side hustle has been branded “c**p” by skeptical TikTokers online but others have praised the idea.
One claimed: “This is right up my alley.”
Another quizzically asked: “So I can get paid for selling my own poop?!!”
Influencers have taken to social media sites to share how they’ve raised extra cash during the economic climate.
