Do Dandelions Make You Wet The Bed?

Some people remember as kids hearing about the rumor about dandelions. It is stated that if you smell or come in contact with a dandelion that you will pee the bed that night. This is one of the many types of tales that children like to share with each other. This idea is a myth of course. However, just like all myths, there is truth hidden within the fable. Dandelions may not be the cause of wetting the bed, but it is possible for it to be a factor. This stems from the fact that the plant is a diuretic. A diuretic increases the amount of urine that is released by the body. However, in order for you to experience this diuretic property of the dandelion, you would have to do more than simply smelling or coming into contact with it. You would have to digest it. So if you consume a certain quantity of dandelions before going to sleep and stay asleep through the night, you may awaken to find that your bed is now wet. This would then make dandelions a factor of the bed wetting, not the cause.

Yes, I'm always pissing when I sniff dandelions. Love it.
