Yes, bad things happen to good participants.

In any research study you participate in, you will have to sign a consent form. It will tell you what you can expect to experience during the study, and what benefits you may receive. It must also tell you what the risks of participating are. After you read it, supposedly you are "informed" and then you sign it, and you become a "participant". There are "adverse events" which usually have to be reported to a higher authority, like the NIH, r the FDA, but usually they are rare. Investigators don't want to harm their "participants" (permanently, anyway) so they will usually err on the side of caution. Fortunately, for all studies, you may withdraw at any time, for any reason (for instance, your dose of Fukitol kicked in, and you don't want to participate any longer). Those are the basic human rights for participants. (in the USA)
