Death by Urine Injection

The mind boggles at this strange world we live in.
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. Investigating prosecutor Oscar Flores told The Associated Press that 35-year-old Gabriela Ascarrunz died Saturday of an "infection caused by urine that was injected by fashion designer Monica Schultz."

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.

Coprophilia is something you may want to look up, but, no pun intended, you may want a strong stomach.

Well, I guess she won't be taking the piss again?

I think our glorious unelected Leader could do with this sort of therapy.
It might be more humane than the death by a thousand cuts he seems to be inflicting upon himself at the moment.

It must be one of those "fashionable" new age fads.

Yuck!

Meanwhile in India extreme Hindus are planning to market a new rival to Pepsi and Coke made from cow piss.

True. Apparently.
