Urine was used in the middle ages to clean woolen clothing.The garmets were first soaked in urine to disolve the grease and grime and then rinsed in cold water.Both human and animal urine were used. Urine is also used by the Ituri Forest Pygmies to treat the effects of an attack by the spiting cobra which, when disturbed, spits an uneering stream of venom into the eye of its victim. Apparently the prompt application of urine neutralizes the venom, thereby saving the victims eyesight. Wonder how they figgered that one out? troll
