The major issues include infectious diseases, some of which are at least theoretically transmissible via the urine, and the ingestion of licit and illicit drugs.
1. Infectious diseases: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is commonly excreted in the urine for a prolonged time (weeks to months) in someone who has no symptoms after an initial infection. As urine may have small (one hopes only small) quantities of blood that are only noted with dipstick or microscopy, there is at the least the theoretical possibility of transmission of ALL bloodborne pathogens (i.e., HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, etc.). Agents of sexually-transmitted diseases (especially the bacterium that causes gonorrhea and the viruses herpes simplex viruses type I and II) can be found in the urine. Rare diseases, such as leptospirosis and typhoid fever, have periods during which the bacteria that cause these are found in the urine. The above list is not a comprehensive one, but is meant to alert the reader that there are, in fact, a number of possible infections that can be acquired (at least theoretically) via the ingestion of urine.
2. Legal drugs may be excreted in the urine. In the worst case scenario, a drug that is excreted (e.g., penicillin) in high quantities could be ingested by someone with a life-threatening allergy to the drug.
3. Illicit drugs, as well as alcohol, are excreted, in some cases unchanged in the urine. Imagine taking and failing your unannounced urine drug tox screen at your place of employment and failing it because you ingested the urine of someone who had used heroin (morphine is excreted in the urine), cocaine (benzoylecgonine is in the urine), or another drug. Will your employer re-hire you for a sensitive government defense industry job if you are upfront and say "Hey, listen. The morphine in my urine is because I was drinking the urine of a really hot woman who I just didn't know is a heroin user. Thanks for letting me know about her." Good luck! MDMA (ecstasy) can be recovered in the urine, and according to this individual, at raves some people drink their own urine in an effort to recycle the MDMA. I don't know if this is done, but it certainly could be somewhat effective
Other theoretical possibilities include drug interactions with something that she is taking by prescription (or non-prescription) and something that you are taking.
Each of us makes the determination of the risk/benefit of given activities. The above is merely to inform and does not in any way seek to convince the reader of any "correct" decision. My only hopes are that for those who have not given much thought to these issues that this is educational, if not interesting, and that there may be an increased openness about medical conditions and medication use between domme and sub in such settings.
