The part of me which panics wanted to jump out of bed then the rational part of me said "It's not possible ". Is salt now a vaccine? If yes why are scientists spending billions to discover a vaccine.... Also who is responsible for the report. Is this a business strategy by a group of people to capitalise on the Ebola epidemic?
True salt has antiseptic properties, it heals sores, wounds and irritations but I don't believe it will prevent Ebola because Ebola is a Virus..Till proven otherwise,Ebola isn't airborne just yet. As long as you don't touch a gravely ill Ebola patient, you are fine..
I know most of you have had your salt water bath this morning..don't lie .....
Meanwhile..some people are already making jokes with it..below
Lol! Pls don't forget to add onions,maggi n pepper! Trust me it works.
ReplyDeleteChoi I won't like I did this morning. Prevention is better than cure

ReplyDeleteDoubtin thomos should try sugar o*oke*
ReplyDeleteIgnorance is worst dan Ebola its self. Emeh or wat ever ur name is, I expected u as a learned person to do a little research to know why something is being said b4 u come out here and spit rubbish to confuse others who do not have their own choices but to follow ur lead. For ur information, salt in water can kill the virus wen maybe your skin comes in contact with it. Likewise soaps. Y didn't you ask the same question why Medical personnel advice that one should wash hands regularly.
ReplyDeleteMr or Mrs ignoramus what have you said now other than beef Emeh for saying the truth. Salt does not have anything to do with Ebola mumu.
DeleteAnon 09:03 her name is Emeh so you got it right. .She has made her point which is, the salt water is wrong. They rumour is not that it can cure,they say it prevents it which is a lie. So stop being a hater. They say wash hands regularly after contact with people not bath in salt water at 4 am before stepping out. Get the difference
DeleteAnon 09:03 you made no sense. Next!
DeleteWell..i am pushed to reply u! As a microbiologist..i was also shocked to receive hundreds of bc's telling me about salt and water! Well, just like emeh said, its true salt has antiseptic qualities, but though it has not been clinically proven, I can bet u that salt has nothing to do with ebola! how does the person who started the bc know! Has he been an ebola patient before or has he cured one? Besides ebola is a virus which CAN NEVER be killed... Viruses can only be managed but cannot be killed for now! That is why HIV, herpes, hepatitis are all untreatable, though they can be brought under control! if salt had such an effect on ebola, there would never have been an outbreak in the first place and am sure scientists would have long discovered it! A salt merchant obviously started this rumour! Even this so-called washing off hands and blah blah blah! Why is it that most of ur soaps, detergents are anti-bacterial??why not anti-viral??? Washing hands or not washing hands, once u have come in contact with an ebola patient, u are very like to contact it because most of these antiseptics cannot kill viruses, but can kill bacteria, fungi etc....so for now best thing is to avoid bodily contact completely and as a Christian pray very well....i'm done!
DeleteAnon 9:03,the stupid girl who started the rumour has apologised. I'm sure you feel like a fool now
Deleteyes i took d salt bath not because i believe it will cure or prevent ebola but because saltwater kills germs and whether d rumour is true or nay,it wont cause any harm .
ReplyDeleteWell all I had to do was to go to my God in prayer cos I knw he bigger than any sickness nd disease,so I didn't have d salt and water bath
ReplyDeleteThe rumour is salt prevents it which doesn't sound reasonable. How can I bath with salt in the morning to prevent Ebola. If they say rub salt on the hand after shaking people I may even consider.
ReplyDeleteloool..my neigbour came to knock on my gate because she wanted to passthe salt and watermessage
ReplyDeleteAll of you are faithless.why do you go to church in the first place?
DeleteFor the anon insulting Emeh,you are more than STUPID !
ReplyDeleteWhy not open your own blog & post your ear wax as the solution ?
How can you walk into someone house that start polluting the air with the rubbish from your mouth ?
Pls get the hell out my friend !
Funny enough,i bathe and brush my teeth without salt in my water.All of you are church goers without faith.Imagine those nigerian pastors like oyakilome,mfm and tbjoshua doesnt have the faith to travel to liberia to heal ebola patients.
ReplyDeleteSince ebola symptoms start with swollen skin and rash,Ampiclux and allergy reaction drugs can relieve ebola.Try it and come and testify.
ReplyDeleteSide eye*
DeleteU most read this plssss---- Dear nairalanders and everyone who have heard of the ebola Prevention “News”, My name is Adesewa, I am coming out clean because what started has a joke has escalated into the unprecedented.
ReplyDeleteHow it started
Yesterday i was with friend in her hostel, we were talking about this Ebola out break, when one of my friends, Funke (she introduced me to nairaland) brought the idea of Us playing a prank on our friends. The first suggestion was to tell people that aloe very could cure Ebola, but we thought it would sound too ridiculous so we forgot about it.
SEE ALSO: Read This Before You drink the rumoured Salt and Water Ebola Cure
Later that even an idea came to me (i now regret that i did it).
I decided to send a BBM broadcast message to my friends, telling them that the Ministry of Health has asked everyone to bathe with salt and warm water and drink some of it.
I sent the message 7:08pm yesterday
Later this midnight i started getting calls and messages that i should drink salt water and bath with it.
All efforts to tell people that i was the one who started the joke failed. Only my friends who i mentioned earlier believed me. Even my mum could me this morning, i did not know what to tell her.
I am using this medium to beg you all to warn and tell everyone, before they drink salt and damage their health.
Please dont be hash on me. I know this has gone out of hand. I never knew it will be this serious. Some have even added to the original message i sent.
*Sigh*
Gonna flee dis battle bitch called nigeria to Canada. Salt solution is an advance detoxification that contain magnesium & sulphate wish may contradict health and skin and because the solution is not saturated it may cause loss of weight,dry skin,hypertension & weakness of the joint in your body so please discard any message or call that direct you to bath or drink salt and hot water.. Minister of health prof. Onyebuchi chukwu. D previous alert said emanated frm prophet T B Joshua of synagogue Church as spiritual solution. May God deliver us frm all evil.
ReplyDeletePlease what's the difference between rash and heat rashes???i know heat rashes is caused by heat.so what is rash??thanks
ReplyDelete@sunday otun, can't say what u want to say without involving men of God?
ReplyDeleteHmmmm its well.salt ko salt ni
ReplyDeleteMy friends are educated they didn't bother sending me message on saline bath. The last time i checked salt and water is the inference you draw when Base combines with an Acid. I suggest the government should introduce the use of hand condoms.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha lol, i tell u..God is Great
ReplyDeleteLoling at comments. No be only salt
ReplyDeleteOur papa taught us better than being gullible
