A member asked:
Is it possible for you to catch anything from drinking someone's urine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: Recommend against drinking urine. It can cause dehydration through sodium ; minerals in the urine. Any bacteria in the urethra can contaminate the urine (hence mid-stream urine samples). Additionally, breakdown products or elements of medications may be excreted in the urine. Under no circumstances should you drink another individual’s urine.
