First, what floor are we talking about? Researchers tossed food on grimy flooring and found that it was germy after just a few seconds. Do you sit on public toilets? Toilet seats, despite their reputation, are not that dirty. There are germs there like the fecal bacteria E. You do still need to wash your hands.

People claim that it works to cure some medical conditions, such as hair loss, it has been used in cancer treatment, for cleansing of the cardiovascular system, and to prevent viral and bacterial infections. Even famous people, such as Madonna or the former prime minister of India, have been quoted to partake in urine therapy for medical treatment. It is noteworthy to mention, however, that there is no scientific evidence showing that these treatments are effective.
Does urinating on a jellyfish sting actually accomplish anything? Not really. In fact, if the urine is too dilute, it could actually increase pain because the urine activates the cells that are left in the skin by the jellyfish called, cnidocytes. Although some analgesics could be helpful in managing the pain, the best treatment is letting the effect of the venom from the jellyfish diminish over time.
If you ever laugh so hard, you release a little urine into your pants, is this cause for alarm? This can happen sometimes. It could be because the bladder is too full, and any increase in the intraabdominal pressure can cause urine to leak out.
Sometimes, this is a result of weakness of the pelvic floor muscles and urinary sphincter, which sometimes happens after pelvic surgery or having children. When a person performs any maneuver that increases the intra-abdominal pressure such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, bending down high enough to overcome the resistance of the sphincter, leakage of urine can occur.
We know that darker shades of urine can be a sign of dehydration, but what about if it takes on an alarming color, like green or blue? Blue urine is not common at all.
There is a medication called methylene blue that can give the urine this color.

Instinctive answer: Of course not, nitwit. Diplomatic answer: OK, delete the nitwit part. But Josh, honey bunny, the answer is still no. It can cause itching, cracking, and red, scaly skin; sometimes large pieces of skin peel off, leading to secondary infections. To grow and breed, the fungus burrows into the upper layers of skin and feeds on the keratin that keeps your body germ-resistant and watertight. It also causes the basal skin cells to divide more rapidly, making the skin thick and scaly; in severe cases the fungus spreads to the nails, which thicken as well and turn yellow.
Because the fungus likes things warm and damp, it survives well in such places as gym showers and locker rooms, and can be easily contracted by walking or standing barefoot thereabouts. Steady, lad. If you get infected anyway, the standard over-the-counter treatment is one of those topical antifungal creams or powders you see advertised on TV.
However, side effects of oral antifungal treatments include liver and heart problems, so try the topical kind first. In fact, because the compound can break down proteins, preparations containing up to 40 percent urea are available to treat nail fungus and even remove toenails nonsurgically, although they take days to work.
