Slog - Comments on Howto: Green Urine http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/03/howto_green_urine 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!...

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.

Water turns green automatically!
