Lots of gross stuff in the news lately:
Swimming pool red-eye isn’t from chlorine (It’s from urine)
Technically Incorrect: The US Healthy Swimming Program says that when your eyes go red and stingy in the pool it’s caused by a chemical reaction between chlorine and urine.
It’s the Chloramines, I think. That’s the chemical reaction between chlorine and all the organic matter in your pool — dead critters, leaves, dust, pollen, nitrogen-super-charged rain water, etc. — not just urine.
Actually urine is kinda clean — at least that’s what my baby doc told me.
Both Gandhi and Bear Grylls have drunk their urine.
It’s the Chloramines, I think.
If it was the midi-chlorians, we could all be Jedi.
RG, that was not Gandhi. That was a goofball Indian politician named Morarji Desai.
Tushar, really? Gosh I apologize I always thought it was the Big G.
All those urine drinkers kind of stream together in my mind.
