 Can peeing on your hands make them tough? - By Dan Kois - Slate Magazine (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In a recent interview with ESPN's Gary Miller, Chicago Cubs outfielder Moises Alou revealed that during baseball season he urinates on his hands to toughen them up.
Proponents of urine therapy—and there are enough of these to have populated three World Conferences on the subject—believe consuming one's own urine boosts the immune system, and they also recommend using it as a skin treatment.
If Moises Alou thinks peeing on his hands has helped him hit.301 in his 14-year major league career, who are we to tell him otherwise?
