Man fired for washing himself with own urine

A famed Austrian museum has fired an employee for washing his hands and face with his urine.

Alfred Zoppelt says he was fired after 23 years of working as an attendant at the Belvedere, a castle in Vienna with a major art collection. He says his adherence to urine therapy was previously "never a problem."

Zoppelt, 57, said Thursday his notice from Belvedere says he was fired because "you regularly rub urine into your skin, particularly the face and hands. With this, you soil your place of work ... and threaten the health of your co-workers."

A woman answering the Belvedere press department phone confirmed that Zoppelt was fired but refused to give her name or further information.

Believers in urine therapy claim medical and cosmetic benefits but these have not been proven.

So who here uses pee to cleanse themselves :lol:

Those museum folks need to chill. Don't knock it till you try it. I work at Burger King and never cease to get complimented on my glowing complexion and soft, silky smooth hands.

That's disgusting. Other people's urine is fine but your own is just weird
