Why does none of this interesting stuff ever happen to me? Except for the time I had a kidney infection and the medication contained a bright orange tracer----scared the hell out of me.

My mom thought I was bleeding internally (age: three), until she remembered I had been eating beets.

Well, since you’re mentioning it, I did once eat a one-pound bag of Herr’s Nacho Cheese Flavored Tortilla Chips.

Yep… orange. Yuck.

I have to mention this every time it comes up. The prescription version of Uristat is a bright turquoise blue, so your urine comes out somewhere between bright blue and a pretty blue-green.

However, this stuff is hard on my tummy. Once I took it… and threw it right back up.

Talk about a techni-color yawn! :eek:
