Traveller Uses Cow Urine as Antiseptic, Insect Repellent in South Sudan

Traveller Uses Cow Urine as Antiseptic, Insect Repellent in South Sudan

A traveller named Giza visited South Sudan and tried a unique tradition of the Mundari tribe.

They use cow urine for many things, like cleaning wounds, keeping bugs away, protecting their skin from the sun, and even dyeing their hair orange.

Giza washed her hands and face with cow urine and shared her experience online.

She said it worked well to keep her safe from mosquito bites.

The Mundari tribe has been doing this for a long time because it helps them stay healthy and comfortable in their hot and buggy environment.

Some people online found it strange, but others thought it was a smart way to use natural things.
