Urea is used in fertilizers and is not considered toxic. Ammonia is toxic and is what converts readily to urea.
Urea is the less toxic in nature among the nitrogenous wastes where as Ammonia is 100,000 times toxic than urea.
too much salt is not good,urea is toxic
Urine typically contains waste products that your body has filtered out of your bloodstream. These waste products can include urea, creatinine, ammonia, and various salts. While these substances may be considered waste, they're not toxins in the sense of being harmful to your body. In fact, they're the products of normal bodily processes. However, if you're referring to toxins that can be found in urine due to exposure to harmful substances, it depends on what you've been exposed to. For example, if someone has been exposed to certain drugs, chemicals, or heavy metals, traces of those substances might be present in their urine. Additionally, certain medical conditions can lead to the presence of abnormal substances in urine, such as proteins in the case of kidney disease. Overall, while urine itself contains waste products, the presence of toxins would depend on external exposure or internal health conditions.
Urea is less toxic than ammonia.
If urea accumulated in the blood, then you would probably die, because urea is technically a diluted version of ammonia, which is highly toxic.You would die because urea comes from the toxic nitrogenous waste in our body, and although less toxic, is still harmfull.

Urea
Urea is a weak base. Strong bases dissociate completely when immersed in water. Urea does not. However, it is quite toxic and should be handled with care.
The liver produces urea when it metabolises (breaks down) proteins. This is done in hepatocytes (liver cells). Amino acids are first broken down into ammonia, which is highly soluble and toxic in the blood plasma, so ammonia is joined with carbon dioxide to make urea, this is less soluble and less toxic but a build up of urea is toxic in the blood. Urea is then transported in the blood to be filtered out by the kidneys.
It's the concentrated amount of urea that will kill, not the diluted amount that is added to silage. Urea will be diluted as it is added to silage, thus making it not toxic and edible for cattle to eat.
