Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators want to see if healthy people who are given 2 doses of a medication called anakinra, which is used to treat moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, (RA) and then exposed to a form of air pollution, called Endotoxin, have less inflammation with the medication. Endotoxin is believed to be one of the causes of asthma attacks.
