I saw this on Top Chef and have been looking on google to see if it is true and have not found anything yet, and what is specifically that makes this work?

No, sorry but they are wrong (Answers before mine). Urine is completely sterile unless you have a bacterial infection which means you have bacteria in your urine. Urine is sterile the second it is expelled from a human. Therefore fresh urine can be used to clean wounds in emergencies, when no alternatives are available. Urine only becomes contaminated when it has been standing for a time. But you can only use urine in extreme cases! It acts as a type of saline solution in cleaning the wound, killing the bacteria and preventing infections.

I don't know about sea urchins, but if you get stung by a jellyfish, you can have someone urinate on it to take the sting away. I believe it is the acid in the urine that causes the sting to diminish.
