The Cameroon health minister has deemed it necessary to warn people that drinking urine may not be good for your health. Urbain Olanguena Awono has even warned that those who advocate drinking urine risk prosecution. He was moved to speak after a wave of interest in "urinotherapy".

Advocates are convinced that it can cure afflictions such as haemorrhoids, ulcers, infertility and even snake bites. "Given the risks of toxicity associated in the short, medium and long term with ingesting urine, the health ministry advises against the consumption of urine and invites those who promote the practice to cease doing so forthwith or risk prosecution," Mr Awono said in a statement.
