From a discussion on the urine drinking diet fad I heard (Woman's Hour
is such fun) It's mostly pretty sterile and safe, but bladder
infections do change that. OTOH, I have no idea if something which has
evolved to live in the bladder is particularly dangerous if
ingested. After all we ingest god knows how many types of bug in
everything we eat and drink, usually with little effect.

Another random factoid I came across somewhere, on one of those
how-to-survive-in-the-wilds programmes, is that in situations where
there is no available cleanish water and a wound needs to be washed,
urine may be the best thing to use. Don't do this at home kids as I
may be missremembering.
