What chemical can make your urine blue?

[vi edit]

No clue on urine, but eating an entire bowl of blue raspberry jello turns your poo blue!

God didn't make your kidneys for you to screw around with

my advice is be happy you make yellow urine, and leave it at that.....

by the by - do you realize that urine is the most sterile fluid to come out of your body?

Again as already been posted it would be methylene blue (but I didn't have to use google 🙂 )

Mercaptans are a type of compounds. The metabolism of a compound found in asparagus produces methyl mercaptan (methanthiol) which is a gas at STP.
Also mercaptans are put into natural gas to give it that peculiar odor; natural gas itself does not have an odor.

I have worked with methyl, ethyl, butyl, and isopropyl mercaptan as neat substances. Not fun stuff.

I remember in an episode of M.A.S.H they gave someone a drug that turned their urine blue for a joke. They even gave the name of the drug but I can't remember it now.

There's stuff you can injest that will make your pee glow blue green! Yes, that's correct! Glow as in phosphorescent.

Let's not start a new trend though...

Does Bromothymol Blue (BTB) do it as well? I seem to remember something about that from HS chemistry. Too sleepy to google.

Methythioninium chloide (the substance previously known as methylene blue).

Methylene blue is commonly used in hospitals to color tube feedings for the patients. The color is used because there is no body fluid that is blue in color unless you're dead(deoxygenated blood). Anyways, the blue dye is mixed with the tube feedings and if the sputum is blue or has a blue tinge, then you know that the patient aspirated (food or vomit into the lungs).

I've never seen this make your pee blue, but it definately makes your poo blue.

Speech therapists also uses this dye to tests their patients whether they can swallow without aspirating. The patients usually ends up with a blue mouth.

Yes.

I believe this is a safer method than the other one mentioned in this thread. BTB is just an indicator, so it should be 100% safe.
