is it okkay to drink your pee?

Question

i whas just wOndedring

Answer 1

I've heard of people doing it. I don't think it will make you ill, there's no poisons in it or anything apparently it's got proteins in it that are good for. But I can't imagine it would taste nice at all.. your body got rid of it for a reason.. why would you want to put it back in?

Answer 2

Believe it or not, as disgusting as it sounds, I have heard of some instances when drinking your urine is not a bad idea. One that comes to mind is if you have gone several days without food or drink. Drinking you urine for hydration is supposed to be better than nothing at all.

Equally strange, but true, is that some cultures believe in using urine as a disinfectant to cleanse wounds, or even as a mouthwash.

Of course, I wouldn't recommend drinking it with your burger and fries, nor would I advise drinking someone else's for "refreshment"! I hardly recommend it except in case of emergency, but your question is not as silly as some people think! In rare cases, it's actually a good idea!

Answer 3

Iv'e read that the first pee of the day should not be drankin but if in a bad situation like being stranded in desert with no water you could drink it for awhile to stay alive but not for too long. I don;t think I would ever try it. Yuchhhhhhh!!!!!

Answer 4

yes, if it's urine-therapy. It has hygienic steps to be followed and included remaining fasting and then being fed on fruits alone or so.
I had read urine contains lots of concentrated minerals. Olden days sages or those when ran out of drinking water/say deserts, survived drinking their urine.
If the regular urine is consumed it's not good healthwise. Even otherwise you may be able to taste it out of your curiousity. I don't think you will be able to drink it. Bec the smell itself would drive away the interest to consume it.
Search for article in the website about urine therapy, to explore your curiosity.
Just tasting and spitting wont harm you.

Answer 5

It can't hurt anything. Urine is sterile so it isn't full of germs or anything. In fact, it can be helpful if you are lost in the desert and need water. Although, it would probably taste horrible and it is gross to drink your own pee.

Answer 6

Yes. Believe it or not, Urine contains treatments for acne, asthma, infections, migraines, warts, wrinkles, jellyfish stings, and other stuff. I also saw on a science/survival program that if you are stranded/lost and suffering dehydration that if you drink your urine it will help slow down the dehydration process.

Answer 7

drinking piss won't make you sick at all, however, if you were to drink only piss and nothing else you would get sick. You'd dehydrate. Drinking only piss is the same as never drinking anything. All piss is is leftover liquids the body has no use for. so go ahead, drink up, just make sure you wash it down with something useful afterwards.

Answer 8

I wouldn`t do it, but I bet it wont hurt you in any way, after all it is coming from you.....and going back into you, so it probably wont even make you sick.
By the way if you are very curious and try it, let me know what it tastes like, just out of curiosity.

Answer 9

I watched some thing on PBS awhile ago about a man saying he drinks his own urine because he believed that it would clean his insides and make him feel better.

Answer 10

the Romans used to use urine as mouthwash to whiten their teeth cause of the ammonia in it, the person with the whitest teeth was drinkin' the most pee.
