Recently, on their tour in Australia, band members Harry
Styles and Liam Payne were urinated on by a 3 year old Koala. I'd say that's
pretty funny, but to them this is a big deal. Liam even said "I'm
genuinely scared. This is worrying. I'd have never picked the thing up if I'd
known!" Reason being that Koala urine is a health hazard. Around 80% of
Koala's have Chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease which effects include
kidney damage, protatitis, incontinence and severe conjunctivitis. The
transmission from the Koala to a human is unlikely but yet can be passed to
humans if they have a specific strain of the Chlamydia. Fortunately for them
they have a very slim chance of transmitting it. Oh, and don't worry,
doctors say if they did transmit Chlamydia it will be treatable.
