No, but I thought it built up and you urinated out the excess carotene, but then if you ate too much for it to be pissed out, it then turned your skin orange…
Pyridine is an azo dye (a chemical class which includes a lot of traditional textile dyes, for those of you who remember organic chemistry). DO NOT wear underwear you care about while on the stuff! Unless it’s black, of course.
I’ve never tried methyene blue, but I have some at work…
I once had a kidney infection and the medicine made me pee bright orange. When a friend asked if I had any sinus medicine, I gave him one of the orange-pee-producing pills. When he returned in a panic to report the horrible events, I told him that the medicine had never affected me in that way. The poor guy actually went to the emergency room and his wife nearly beat me to death when the truth came out.
I’ve taken AZO-something or other, which is more of a burnt orange color (good thing I’m not an aggie) and I’ve taken a prescription med for the same problem, which comes out a brilliant blue (shading to green for obvious reasons). Unfortunately both of these bother my stomache; I’ll never forget the time I took the blue one at 4 in the morning… it gave a whole new meaning to technicolor yawn.
:eek:

Yep, about that color
This actually made me choke on my own saliva. I thought I was going to die. Good thing my office-mate left early today.
Thanks, Rysdad. I needed that.
Oh, and Ginger? I only counted 3 questions (or things requiring answers) in Rysdad’s post, yet you have four answers. What does the “NO, I am not” refer to?
This refers to the fact that no, I am not showing GingerBeef any colourful displays. Brood McEto, GingerSnap saw my pee. He giggled. Whaddaya gonna do, he’s a seven year old boy.
There’s snow up on the peaks, but you’re nuts if you think I’m going to climb a mountain to pee my name into the snow. Considering that I can’t pee standing up, that would be a total waste of a day.
