Medics once were taught (may still be) that urine can be used to
clean debris from a wound in the field if no antiseptic or clean
water is available. Generally, it's pretty much sterile.
And I'm beginning to regret that I used as an example of
something that shouldn't be done cleaning a lens with spit and a
shirttail wipe, which seems to have started this bodily fluids
stream.
