Blood contains platelets that control any bleeding by coagulating over the wound, this also helps keep the wound free from infection. Urinating on the wound will only dissolve the platelets, preventing the coagulation. =Although urine is sterile, it is also an acid, (uric acid), and will probably cause irritation.==Have you ever sliced your finger while cooking, most people rush to the tap and run water over it - this doesn't make a whole lot of sense because you're actually washing away the platelets that are needed to control the bleeding and prevent infection.=
