Peak of insanity? More like pee of insanity.

So, I'm sure we've been hearing about this news about how some people in India are drinking the urine of cows to ward off the coronavirus. I'm attaching links here.

Yes, let that sink in for a moment. Got up from the shock already? Here, have another article to read.

Anyway, it has been believed that the urine and dung of cows have some medicinal value which has not been proven till date. Wonder what proof is there whatsoever. These guys are drinking the liquid and claim to be bathing in the faeces. Does it take too much sense to realise that it is metabolic waste, I repeat, WASTE of an animal?

Firstly, urine is sterile and antiseptic. Yes it actually is very clean. This is the reason why people who get genital piercings are advised to actually let the urine flow over the piercing to heal it. BUT, that is for a couple of moments only. Urine gets contaminated insanely quickly. A few moments out of the body and it starts harbouring all sorts of bacteria. And... our smart people are drinking it.

It doesn't matter if it has zero pathogens when it comes out. Five seconds in, there'll be millions of them regardless of whether you cover it, filter it, boil it or whatever. Sure, dung used to be applied to floors in the old days to polish them but that was a whole different scenario. It would be allowed to dry out perfectly and even then only feet would come in contact with the floor. But this, is on a whole new level. Seriously, I'm spellbound.

Allow me to re-imagine the song "Chlorine" by Twenty One Pilots. If you haven't heard the song, please do. It's a good one. Of course, the original song credits go to them. I hope they don't get angry for me using the lyrics.
Sippin' on straight urine
Let the vibe slide over me
This pee is a chemical, pee is a chemical
When I drink, don't sniff my teeth
I'll be back when the cup's empty
The moment is medical, moment is medical
Sippin' on straight urine

Lovin' what I'm tastin', woah
Virus on my tongue, dependent at times
Salty cow vibrations, woah
Help my body run....

Peak of insanity? More like pee of insanity.
