Nail fungus is not usually associated with something positive. Mostly sufferers are keeping their toes and fingers hidden and trying in secret to rid themselves of the unsightly symptoms. However on 7th November in Dallas, for those of you with toenail fungus on your big toe, it’s time to bring those feet out of hiding and make some money out of that fungus problem! And all for a worthy cause - a better understanding of the problem for local physicians.

A company called DermResearch is looking for ‘fungus models’ - more specifically, the company is looking for people who have toenail fungus on their big toe to be models for a training session for physicians. The training session will take place at 10am on Saturday, November 7, 2009 in Dallas, Texas.

DermResearch states that at the training session physicians will ‘examine your toenails and possibly obtain a sample of the nail to examine under a microscope’. Models will be paid $500 each and one night at the resort outside Dallas where the training session will be held.

So, if you’re in the Dallas area, have fungus on your big toe and fancy a night out on the town with $500 to play with then call 512-349-0500 for further information or fill out the form on their site.
