Howto: Green Urine

posted by on March 17 at 17:07 PM

Methylene blue is a water-soluble dye that can be used to assess whether a fistula is present or used as a medication. It is filtered by the kidneys and has no pathologic effects but may cause the urine to have a bluish or greenish hue. Once the dye has been passed (after 2 days, in this patient), the color of the urine returns to normal.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

Give the sample to Paul Constant; he was drunk enough earlier today that he would probably drink it, thinking it's green beer.

If you drink methylene red will you get pastel pink urine for Easter?

No, but a good punch in the kidneys might do that (NOT recommended).

Key lime yogurt has occasionally had a similar effect on me.

Wonderful.

Now can you tell us how one gets chunky, yellow cum?

Another awesome means to determine if a fistula is present is to sit down real hard on your ass when your anal boil is the size of a cantaloupe. If you stay conscious then probably not.

My freshman biology teacher told us a story about this stuff. When he was in college, as part of a fraternity prank, he baked a cake and put some of this stuff in it. Evidently the toilets were green in that fraternity for a couple of days.

He told us this stuff is used in fishtanks, and can be procured at pet stores that cater to tropical fish.

The food dye that they use in soda has a similar effect. When that Pepsi Blue came out a few years back, I had a couple of bottles. Then I went to the bathroom. Number 1 and number 2, both green. Freaked me out at first.

Or you could just pee into a toilet with one of those toilet tablets that turn the water blue to keep it clean. Water turns green automatically!
