An Austrian man was fired from the renowned Viennese Belvedere museum, a castle in Vienna with a major art collection, for therapeutically using his urine.
During urine therapy, one's own urine is applied to the skin or injected. 57-year-old Alfred Zoppelt consideres urine as the body's own remedy against acne, cancer, wrinkles, allergies and much more. However, his belief has cost him his job. A Belvedere spokesperson confirmed that the man was fired.

He recieved his dismissal notice a few months ago saying: "You regularly wash your face and hands with urine and thus contaminate your workspace and equipment and put the health of your co workers at risk."
Zoppelt said: "I worked there for 23 years and there were never any problems. I was promoted to being a warden - in charge of the porters there. It was there that I showed a colleague a DVD about the therapy." After that he said he was fired.

Doesn't that make him stink? I mean, old, stale piss is a potent and disgusting smell indeed.
Also, confidential to the crackpot: urine is not a magic healing tincture your body secretes, but waste product your body tries to get rid of.
You'd thing he would be emitting some unpleasant odour.
It is a waste product, indeed. But it is sterile, and certainly cannot be condemned for any possible unsanitary measures. Had it been feces, that would be a different story.
Oh, come on Patrick! I bet if I came over there and peed a little on you, "Big deal, it's sterile" wouldn't be your reaction, either.
We have an on-going dispute about very young children in the jacuzzi, as the water then smells like urine. The grandmother of one of the offenders keeps telling us that urine is sterile. I don't want to bathe in ANYONE'S urine, no matter how sterile it is.
