Phlakes: Rumour or no rumour, y nt do it, we never can tel, it might work for it since no one has known d cure, what if they ask u to do wat is worse than that nd u are very sure it is d cure, won't you do it?

Do you know your body produce salt,natural salt in the form of sweat? Have you ask yourself why hasn't that salt produced by the body prevented the death of those unfortunate victims of this rampaging virus?

Salt go soon scarse now.

Adorayble: Lol... For dt first statement when U get to Yaba,turn left!

To Ur answer,Wen U have salt on Ur skin it serves as a barrier by preventing micro-organisms frm entering Ur skin,I neva said Ebola Virus is a worm...

what about people that sweat. Has it stopped them from contracting ebola virus?
If you think because you have bathed, you're free of contracting ebola then go touch the nearest ebola victim close to you.

Oyibo no sabi say salt dey prevent am e neva find cure since?
Why didn't CNN/BBC/Al Jazeera even report this if it were scientifically confirmed to be true?

how dose DAT cure Ebola

Naija! Una fit believe anything sha. You do realize that you would sweat more after bathing with hot water and salt, thereby making you potentially attractive to ebola

Emmysteve: I have received several calls and texts urging me to bath with salt and drink the water afterwards to prevent Ebola virus. I am not a medical personal or practianal, however i am very certain that drinking salt or bathing with it can never prevent Ebola virus. Besides there's no scientific research or orthodox evidence to proof that such method do prevent Ebola apart from the preventive measures we read on newspapers and heae on radio which includes avoiding contact with the patients, avoiding and so on. Me i no dey bath with any salt. from Kolonut to Salt nawaoh

Please stop this rumours about Ebola entering Abuja, Kaduna, Jos and other states. People should stay calm and avoid large gathering especially those in Lagos and adhere to medical tips on how to avoid the disease.

I'm at the table drinking mine (antivirus) and would bath in a few

Adorayble: Using salt and water to bath is nt a "curative" approach rather its a "preventive approach".... since it doesn't have a cure yet, U cn prevent it!

Please after u finish ur salt-water bathe...search for an ebola victim and sit next to him/her. make sure u have body contact wella. come back here after 7days to thank me.

Enoquin: Naija! Una fit believe anything sha. You do realize that you would sweat more after bathing with hot water and salt, thereby making you potentially attractive to ebola

I laugh in 3D

I think the salt stuff is more of a religious thing. Most of the ppl who called me are learned and they too didn't have any scientific backup but did it all the same.

My dear, can you imagine that my people woke me up this morning, all the way from naija, telling me to bath with salt and water before 5am to prevent the widespread of Ebola, and tell others to do same. I no even reason the matter sef. In my flat, we don't use bucket so I looked for and found a housemate's bucket (God knows what they use it for- hope it's not for mopping) and had a bath, sake of say obwdiencw us bera Dan sacrifice.

Thank God I no wake my housemates to bath the salt water before 5am. Then for call police for me, that's if ambulance never for follow when salt burn their body. Na only me waka enter bathroom bath myself with salt water. Na wa for rumours across borders.

My God, can you imagine such rubbish? ROTFL...dreamt abt it? Consulted an oracle? LMAO..All these coming out of someone in the 21st century? How in the world does warm saline prevent the transmission of viral infections? What is the mechanism of action?
Its a shame really that people who are supposed to be knowledgeable (not necessarily in medical field) can think this way. How come nobody has suggested doing this to prevent or treat HIV? Spreading such heinous rumours will only increase susceptibility of people to the virus. Instead of doing the needful, they follow such unintelligent advice
And for people saying you have nothing to lose by trying it, why not try it when you have malaria or typhoid or even headache/ Afterall you have nothing to lose!!!

Adorayble: Nt @ all darling... I heard d Oba of Benin ordered every1 to do it... So,he must have dreamt abt it or consulted an oracle... See my friend wen sm1 has a vag.inal infection or has a cut during childbirth,medical personnels advice her to do sitz bath with salt dt tells U dt Salt can fight against some infections. The salt on Ur skin can serve as a barrier wen sm1 wif Ebola rubs his skin against unifected person,its a simple logic! Since d act isn't harmful why nt do it? Had it been dey asked every1 to drink bleach hell no,ah for nor drink nah! Okay,see yday dt dere ws no movement arount Ikorodu area,becos of burial rites why pple nor come out of their house? So,U see?

Lol...... Salt ko pepper ni?? Us for don do am since! I pity una wan don do am..............lol

Win95: I think the salt stuff is more of a religious thing. Most of the ppl who called me are learned and they too didn't have any scientific backup but did it all the same.

That, my dear, is what is called fear

a dr just debunk d whole idea in channels, but on a serious level salt helps alot in protecting pple against infections.

Lol !!!
