A mate of mine went on a big jaunt through South America. In Peruvian (or was it Chillean?) rainforest he was advised by the guide to - erm - spray the stuff around wildly when going for a slash. This is because with a focused stream there's a parasite that lives in the water that can swim up it and into your thingy - and that it is very painful.
The Candiru. It's certainly capable of getting up your pee hole, but not by swimming up the stream of piss, you'd have to be dangling your chopper in the water for it to get up there.
No, I don't speak from experience.
