Urine Injection = Death

Hm. So, people will even let clothing designers inject them with pee now? Stupid kills. Whoops, who knew?

A Bolivian woman has died from an injection of urine allegedly administered by her friend as a form of health therapy, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

Local newspapers reported that Schultz, who is known across Bolivia for her clothing lines, is a practitioner of urine therapy — a form of alternative medicine using human urine for cosmetic purposes or to treat various diseases. Some people rub it on their skin, while others inject or drink it.

Sorry, Eos, but we've discussed this already:

Urine is usually sterile, so I'm surprised she died of an infection. I'm guessing one of three things happened:

1. The urine came from someone with a bladder infection
2. The needle was dirty
3. The urine sat out at room temperature for several hours

At any rate: Stupid thing to do.

I was hoping this thread had an update- pathology report maybe.
