Did you know that Civil War belles collected their pee in barrels for soldiers to use to make gunpowder?
Or, that lobsters fight by squirting each other with urine from bladders next to their eyes? (And the way hippos fight is even dirtier!)
How about doctors in ancient Greece? They used to cure insanity by making their patients drink donkey urine.
There’s a lot more to pee than you ever imagined. And you can find out all about it in this companion book to The Truth about Poop.
