For the record...

Urine is sterile.
(Barring UTI or other infections)
In fact, it is better for someone else to drink your urine that it is for you to drink it yourself...
So if you are ever stuck in the desert with someone, drink each others wee not your own

Poo is NOT sterile.
On average, 75% of poo is water.
Water is absorbed out of fecal material as it passes through the intestine, so the longer the poo is in the body the drier it will become.

The remaining 25% is about 1/3 DEAD bacteria. Another 1/3 is made of stuff that we find indigestible - like cellulose - this is fibre largely (ie we do not actually absorb fibre) The last 1/3 is a mixture of fats such as cholesterol, phosphates, live bacteria, dead cells and mucous from the lining of the intestine, and protein.

So less than 8% off a poo contains any bacteria...none the less, it is NOT sterile.

HTH clear up that issue.
