I was horrified by the cow urine disinfecting scene at TJ’s house…Then, I did some research and was surprised to find out cow urine has a lot of antiseptic properties. There are legit NIH studies on the topic. Apparently cow urine has been used for centuries to disinfect, and it has Ayurvedic healing properties. Not saying I’m going to use it, but…educated.
Note, some regions in India apparently do use cow waste for a million reasons. I’m all for cultural differences - it’s essential, but some reports are linking the burning and general lack of hygiene when using it (fuel, manure,etc) to their black fungus epidemic.
There was also a wave of rumors that bathing in either kind of the waste would cure and prevent COVID.
