That's a semi-myth. I mean it's kinda true - but way often misused (like you just did).

Urine is, generally, sterile (If you have a UTI, etc. thats not necessarily the case) until the moment it leaves your body.

As soon as it does, it acts as a growth medium for all sorts of nasty little bugs.

For example, if the piss hits your hand, all of a sudden, all the baddies that were tucked away in your pores and folds have just been given a huge helping of miracle grow.



Whether you choose to or not, ya really should wash your hands every time after using the bathroom... it's just considerate to the people whose hands you shake and whose keyboards you touch, f nothing else.
