The excellent Jesus and Mo alluding to a real story last week about the apparent health benefits of drinking Camel urine. There's a story in one of the Islamic Hadiths that tells the tale of how the prophet (Mohamed) ordered a tribe of people to drink the milk and urine of camels as a medicine and they apparently were cured of whatever they had. The WHO (World Health Organisation) has had to advise people to stop drinking camel piss during this current pandemic. Clearly those among us who've only read one book struggle with this kind of thing, but to clarify, not only is it a potential source of MERS (Middle-Eastern Respiratory Syndrome) which isn't a great thing to be catching about now, but it's also a load of old tosh that won't cure you of anything. Still, I bet you can find some in Waitrose, probably fine if you mix with some "fever tree" tonic water.. (see what I did there)
