It is possible. Traditional remedies for athlete's foot include the claim that urine is very effective at killing athlete's foot. Urea, the "active ingredient" in urine, is already used in many drugs and treatments made by pharmaceutical companies to treat athlete's foot. This controversial treatment method recommends urinating on the infected area once a day in the shower. According to supporters, urine therapy not only kills existing fungi, it prevents new fungi from growing in the infected area.

I didn't know it prevented Athletes foot. If so then how come there's so many people with the problem?
I'm pretty sure everyone pees in the shower. It should be erraticated, shouldn't it?

I don't know where you heard that, and truthfully, I doubt it's true. Someone is just trying to get you to do nasty stuff.
But... for the sake of argument, you could say that urine, being sterilized, kills germs.... but that's a long shot. No, peeing in the shower does not prevent athlete's foot.

although it is true that urine contains a decent amount of ammonia in urine and ammonia does kill germs. It isn't in enough of a concentration to be able to kill enough germs to get rid of or keep your feet from getting athletes foot. Plus while in the shower the running water would dilute the ammonia.

I had never heard that. I do know that urine is antiseptic. I know in combat , if guys intestines are out and your waiting for a doctor to put them back in,
They must be kept wet. When Corpsman run out of water and antiseptic We wet it for em.
I had severely cut a finger , urine also stopped the bleeding.

It's the acid......It kills the fungal cells.
Some of you act like you don't pee in the shower??? Get real....almost everybody does it, and there is NOTHING wrong with it.

Madonna is a far more accomplished authority in that area. Maybe you should ask her.
