Terry sez:
> Urine from the bladder is normally sterile of bacteria except > in the case of urinary tract infection. Also, under extreme conditions where there is no available water supply people have resorted to drinking their own urine. As a last resort they might not have survived if they had not. I believe there are certain religious rituals that require the drinking of one's own urine. It's kind of like participating in a Klingon tea ceremony. For a human, it's an honor to be asked to participate in a Klingon test-of-courage ritual of drinking a mildly poisonous brew. It is however highly advisable that humans take an antidote before commencing. http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Klingon_tea_ceremony Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson svjart.orionworks.com
