| I work with a child who is autistic, he urinates all over,can the smell of urine effect our health? I smell urine for 10 hours a day, it is soooo strong. I would like to confront my boss with proof that the smell of urine can effect us. I have been sick since I started there and I am sure it is from smelling urine. I have not been successful on the web finding the effects of urine and our health. Please Help... Other - Health - 8 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 : It would seem to me you need to find another career. If you are sick, then get out. 2 : If you sniff glue you can kill some brain cells but no smelling urine is not harmful. It is better to smell urine than to smell car exhaust outside. Also you can drink urin you know that is what the tell people stranded by oceans. There is more water and less salt in urine so you can drink it up. Smelling it is not harmful even though it is unpleasant. 3 : Dont know about the smell, but urine can carry many airborne bacteria which is bad for you're health. So if you can smell it, odds are, you are breathing in the bacteria. I'm a carer myself, and I still hold my breath when changing the pad, of an incontinent person, that has been on the whole night! 4 : It shouldn't cause any health problems. Urine is sterile when it exits the body. 5 : Well, there is plenty of urine all over public restrooms, but you don't b*tch about that. Smelling urine can't hurt you. It seems pretty clear to me you are in the wrong profession. Someone working with an autistic child should actually have some compassion for other human beings. 6 : No..,doesnt the child wear diapers?If you cannot or do not have the stomach to deal with the profession you are in,I suggest you make a career change.If urine effected peoples health then I guess pediatricians and geriatric physicans and nurses would be sick.Get a grip. 7 : You have not been sucessful because it is not harmful- the fumes anyway. If it were, lab technicians in hospital labs would have died long ago. Urine smells because of the small amount of ammonia compounds present. Urine is also sterile for the first 24 hours or so after it leaves the body. If he is urinating on carpet, that would of course hold the smell and become unpleasant- but not hazardous unless you were getting it into your mouth for some reason. People who begin working around children often notice they are sicker at the beginning. This is because children are learning their sanitary habits, but have not perfected them. They tend to spread bacteria over a wider area, because they do not always cover to cough or sneeze, or wash up after the toilet. You can combat this risk by scrupulous hand cleanliness habits of your own, and waiting for your own immune system to meet the new challenge. This is the only option you have, beyond a career change. It doesn't sound as if you are very happy with this one. 8 : Technically, urine is sterile when it comes out of the body. I don't think the smell can really harm you. BUT, it's not a pleasant smell and the mental connotations can probably make you feel physically ill. Smelling something you think is gross all day can make you feel sick. If you can't handle it, you probably shouldn't be working there. This child can't help it, and he needs people who can deal with the smell of urine. Read more discussions :

During pregnancy, how much does the mother's diet effect the child's future health
| During pregnancy, how much does the mother's diet effect the child's future health? My mother, while she was pregnant with me, consumed a huge amount of sugar. The doctor actually told her to stop because it was messing up some levels in her blood. Later on, when I was 8 years old my doctor thought I was hypoglycemic. I would shake if I didn't eat as soon as I was hungry. I've never in my life been able to feel true health and energy. I have more energy than I've ever had in my life, but if I have a full active day... I am exhausted for the next 3 days. I cannot handle any processed ingredients whatsoever. I have to eat a strict diet of raw fruits, raw veggies, good oils (like olive oil)... I've even become gluten-intolerant (although I eat gluten in the morning). Being I'm only 22 years old... I don't understand why my body is so sick (which contains TONS of symptoms like horrible allergies, intestinal issues, etc). I ate like the average american child growing up. Although, I did find a tape of my parents letting me drink coke and eat pizza at 2 years old. What I mean by my body being unable to handle foods. I get symptoms like... foods will cause me to wheeze, intestinal issues, blurry vision, faintness, numbness in my fingers and toes, dizziness, etc.. Random, but she ate a ton of reeces peanut butter cups.... and to this day, the smell of chocolate and peanut butter blended makes me incredibly nauscious. I'm not pregnant, and there is no chance of pregnancy. I am only asking about my mother in relation to me. Other - Diseases - 5 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 : my mom ate french fries when she was pregnet so all i eat is them so. 2 : A mothers diet effects the baby a lot. My sis found out she was pregnant and stopped drinking and smocking. She now eats only the healthiest for her baby. LOL -girlz4God 3 : the eating the pizza and coke thing don't worry about it. what u need to do is go to the docter ur seeing for ur pregnancy and ask him/her if its alright to eat this or that or have a strict diet while im pregnant. ur docter will know the most on what u should have and what the baby needs 4 : Let me put it this way ~~~ if a mother does cocaine during her PG the baby will be born addicted but the baby can outgrow the addiction and become clean. Some or a lot of cell damage is done to the infant due to what mother put in her system and the child is stuck with that damage for life. Common sense says that is true for anything the mother ingests. Follow your doctors orders or pay the price. 5 : If eating pizza and coke as a baby caused many long term problems then half the children on the planet would be messed up.You say you are gluten intolerant but you eat gluten in the mornings,why? If you know this stuff doesn't agree with you,but you still eat it,then that is most likely your problem.The thing you mentioned about your mother eating peanut stuff when pregnant could have affected your tendency to allergies,but a peanut allergy would have affected you seriously before now.Try eating no gluten at all,if that doesn't help,go back to your doctor,maybe more food allergies are showing.
