Asparagus Pee : ATOM 0.3

Marz @ 6/10/2008 8:52:21 PM

Not quite the same, but I sometimes have to have this antibiotic. I have to mix it up my self, and when you do it fizzes up and smells strongly of cat pee. Because it fizzes up, there is a lot of pressure in the bottle, so when you put the needle in to take the liquid out, it can sometimes spray you. Right in the face, sometimes. And it reeks. It also stains, so I have lots of pj tops with yellow pee like stains on the front.
But the worst is that as I inject it in, I can TASTE it. So much so that I have to sometimes stop or I'll gag. It's rotten stuff. When I pee, it absolutely stinks of cat wee, and some people even sweat it out, so have cat pee armpits. I feel like more of it is coming out of me than I ever took in.

I had asparagus with dinner last night...

Can't wait for it to get out of my system. As of 5:00pm EDT the smell is still going strong.

« davbob : I also discovered that not evberyones wee smells bad after asparagus, and those whose wee doesn't smell bad also can't smell anything bad about other peoples asparagus wee.

Indeed, its a recessive gene, much like blue eyes or hitch hikers thumb.

I cannot taste a certain chemical in foods, but my best friend can. Our biology teacher gave us all these little strips of paper in 10th grade i think. He warned us, telling us, "For some of you, this is going to taste like the nastiest thing ever, for some it will taste like a piece of paper."

Luckily I got the paper flavored one. Hurray for recessive traits!

Aww man, I thought this thread was dead. Ya weenie.

pocksucket @ 6/10/2008 4:38:49 PM

I just wanted to resurrect this thread as we're now at the tail end of the British asparagus season and I've been annoying people with that "wet towel" smell for a good few weeks now.

I should probably stress that this is only in shared and public toilets.

I've not been sneaking up on people at work and peeing on their shoulder.

I figure that would be annoying whether or not the micturater had been eating asparagus.

Although it would be the cherry on the icing on the cake, that moment of realisation that not only had they been peed on but that it was a real stinker.

Memories are strange things, the way that they are provoked.

Supposedly smell has the strongest link with memory, odours triggering ancient long buried recollections, dreams of madeleines and limeflower tea and so on, so I wonder what it takes to invoke a memory of a smell.

This thread, apparently.

I now have in mind a memory of sitting on a toilet in the middle of the night, my eyes bleary from the sleep that still had me in it's Styxian grasp, my mind still befuddled from the alcohol of the evening antics when my senses were assaulted by an unexpected smell rising from between my legs.

Apples.

The reason is simple enough; I'd been drinking cider in copious quantities (by which I mean the alcoholic fermentation of apples, not the apple juice which is called cider in some quarters).

What was surprising though was the source - without being to graphic, glance back a couple of paragraphs and note that I was sat down.

Smelt almost good enough to eat. Almost. Thankfully not quite.

OR one glass of bug juice, grape. In case someone doesn't know what bug juice is, it is the generic term for that really cheap powder mix stuff. Like cheaper than Kool-aid. But a thousand times sweeter.

Only those with a certain gene can break down the chemicals inside the asparagus into their smelly components, and only those with the proper gene can smell the results of that chemical breakdown.

So, last night I had a steak dinner and included in the meal was fresh asparagus. I've had asparagus before many times but noticed no side-effects UNTIL this morning when I went to the bathroom.

This bathroom incident led me to Google and the subsequent discovery of a phenomenon known as "Asparagus Pee" (make sure you check out the comments at the end of the article) :D

Anyone else come across this or any other side-effects of certain foods or any other bizarre phenomenons?

Thoughts?
