Pee and Jesa

[13:10] Everybody: Pee kills bacteria.
[13:11] Gregonzola: I think pee is actually just aseptic, not antiseptic, which is why UTIs can happen.
[13:11] Everybody: Ahh. You know, I expect whatever the active beastie is in UTIs is just more acid-resistant than most.
[13:11] Shoo86: and its not even really aseptic
[13:11] Shoo86: but yes, greg
[13:12] Everybody: So, I propose an experiment.
[13:12] Everybody: Someone get me a UTI culture.
[13:12] Everybody: I'm going to take 3 mason jars and fill them with fluids at different pHs.
[13:12] Everybody: I have a little magnetic stirring plate thingy, even! Woofun!
[13:12] Gregonzola: This sounds like a good time. I'm coming over. I'll bring Jesa.
[13:12] Everybody: We will need a temperature control.. I've got a few little home-mdae incubators.. never tried to get them up to bodytemp, but we'll see.
[13:13] Everybody: How about you just come over Jesa? That's a good time.
[13:13] Gregonzola: Okay, can do.
[13:13] Shoo86: whats the experiment exactly? lol
[13:13] Everybody: Oh, we're seeing what pH range the infectious agent in a UTI prefers.
[13:13] Gregonzola: Oh, Shoo's fancy. He wants you to formalize a hypothesis.
[13:13] Gregonzola: Good experiment. Let's do it.
[13:13] Everybody: This is really just an excuse to get Jesa and urine together.
[13:13] Everybody: (Shh!)
