Seafood traders were found to be pouring human urine into water tanks to

keep shrimps alive in some bazaars of Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province,

reports Sina.com. Shrimps and crabs die within a few hours of being

released into tanks unless they have oxygen-generating equipment. Human

urine helps the shrimps and crabs to stay alive for at least a day. Many

vendors were found to be using urine to cut costs. Health experts have

urged people to buy aquatic products only from big markets because urine,

apart from being disgusting, is harmful to human health.
