Did you all see the posts re: people infected with TB in Africa selling their spit. Their reasons were so friends could collect some kind of disability. But, I'm sure that others could use this for reasons we all know.
Speaking of gross ... OT, but since food consumption in China was discussed earlier, this excerpt might be of interest; some humor writes itself ... since nothing is ever wasted in China, we can only hope it was tiger urine:
Eatery Serves Tiger Meat ( Actually Donkey Meat Laced with Tiger Urine )
Ace of Spades HQ ^ | 9/8/2005 | Li Fangchao (China Daily)

When asked how the restaurant obtained the tiger meat, a waiter replied that the owner of the restaurant had good connections within the tiger park and could get the meat of dead tigers.
The tiger-meat story published in a local newspaper has created shock waves.
Police subsequently raided the restaurant and confiscated the so-called tiger meat.
After inspection, the owner, Ma Shikun, confessed that the so-called tiger meat was actually donkey meat that had been dressed with tiger urine, to give the dish a "special" flavour
