If think bathing with salt & water can prevent you from ebola then you should also bath with palm oil, it’ll prevent you from any bomb blast

And the amount of salt they’ll drink will be more than normal. Your kidneys,arteries,heart will sooner fail before Ebola gets to you. SMH

Salt baths are therapeutic, helps with insomnia, muscle pain. SEA salt, not mr. Chef. Definitely not for drinking and not a cure for Ebola.

With all your data plan &access to internet,you people will not research & read.Rub yourself with mr. Chef,lie in the sun to grill.#bbq. Lol — Olo Osakioduwa (@O_Osakioduwa)
Bright side to this is, those co-workers with bad body odour will not do rub and shine today. They will spend time bathing properly. :D— Olo Osakioduwa (@O_Osakioduwa) August 8, 2014

@RevDrCraig Can salt help stop Ebola? Please reply.
— Eralimad (@EralimadA)
@EralimadA Ebola is a VIRUS and is unaffected by salt. Bathing, drinking or, applying salt will have no beneficial effect whatsoever
— David (@RevDrCraig)
@EralimadA No!
— David (@RevDrCraig)
@EralimadA Salt is ‘bacteriostatic’ meaning it will slow the growth of most BACTERIA. Some salts are ‘bactericidal’ meaning it can kill them
— David (@RevDrCraig)
So did you hear about the rumour? or did you take a salt and warm water bath on Friday morning?

"O ye of little faith." Why doubting doubting.? First do some research properly about the salts possibilities solution for Ebola.
ReplyDeleteBunch of cowboys negro's, westerner's does things through research, experiment and practical to get good results. Why can't us have the same zeal like them to find our own solution rather than depending on them every time issues like this came out or our own brains cursed ?
Ebola have not yet on your door step, till it happen to you,then you will be able to believe in every solutions to get rid of from the epidemics.As they said "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. Cheers !
