A member asked:
If i pee on my cut leg, is that a good antiseptic?

?: Only if you are unable to find clean water and soap. Urine is hypertonic and acidic and would create a burning sensation much like vinegar. In the wilderness it would help clean a contaminated wound if other means were not available.
