FTR, don't pee on a Jellyfish sting, you're basically dumping sewer water onto an open wound by doing that
I'm convinced the only reason this myth exists is because writers with a pee fetish were trying to come up with a way to shoe horn it into a story.
Fresh urine is supposed to be sterile, unless you got a serious problem, anyways.
That's a myth.
From wikipedia:
But what if I just like the taste?

Ok, thanks for the note.
Apparently, fresh urine is not completely sterile, but almost sterile.
In the german Wikipedia, it says:
Translation: "Basically, urine contains 10^4 germs per millilitre. That's very low count, considering saliva contains 10^8 germs per millilitre. [...]"
(Translation by me)
I got that wrong in my head. Probably, everything is only almost sterile, not completely sterile, except if you look at another planet. But for practical purposes, the number of germs is often negligible.
Apparently, they used to pee on each other's wounds in earlier times to disinfect wounds. Since pee was much closer to being sterile than anything else they had access to. So that's where this thought comes from. (Source: Someone told me this years ago.)
I feel like this misconception is because of the survival tactic of drinking piss over sea water. It's not sterile, just more edible than sea water.
