Sterile or not, this is a whole new level of “yuck.”

And we all know that the best person to give medical treatment is a fashion designer.

(Lots of people believe urine is sterile. It is, in the bladder. Once it leaves your body it’ll pick up bacteria on the way and not be sterile anymore.) But yeah, I don’t get why people think urine might be good for medicine either. Quite backwards thinking…

In this case, two wrongs would make a right.

A Bolivian woman has died from an injection of urine

She must have been pissed.

Or stuff that may even be dangerous, right? So, WHY would one counteract this?

OK, admittedly the chemical props may make it some kind of disinfectant, or be useful in certain cases. I seem to remember that it can nix the activity of jellyfish stingers because it’s a bit acidic, but I wouldn’t trust this hunch o’ mine. Still, injections? Into the blood stream or tissue? Where it was expelled from in the first place? … ?
