I want to hazard a guess that call came from Benin city? My colleague and I just got separate calls from relatives in benin advising salt therapy too. How come all the advisories on Ebola in the public domain say nothing about this? I even asked my relative if the info came from a doctor or a shaman.

Pls let's be sure before setting folks into a state of paranoia.

This stuff is serious oh! It is really spreading like wildfire! I wonder who formed it!
My Mother just woke my siblings and I to perform this 'abolution'. That My father who travelled to our village in Edo state called her and told her and her sisters in kaduna also called her and told her to do so!

Like seriously, this is like a whatsapp/BBM broadcast message(BC), but this time around, people are really doing it! I'm about to do it sef, because if I talk now, it'll be as if I'm an atheist!

@bolded - that's because it has no medical backing! Its just thrash! Even if a person take his bathe with all the salt in this world, and he comes in contact with an ebola patient, he will still get infected!

Nigeria is finished. They should close down all our universities because even with our 'education' some people still behave like dummies. No wonder so called Pastors are busy feeding fat from people's ignorance.
Please stop asking ignorant questions. Salt and water won't help you. Do a little research and advice anyone who calls you with such news that it is dumb.
Salt ni, water ko.

And your drinking it means that the chlorine will spread through your bloodstream and lie in wait for any trace of ebola to kill it right? Ridiculous stuff.

It is a spiritual exercise and has no physical inclination whatsoever. Forget salt and its composition and water too, they are just the earthly things we need to do it.

Very funny. Why not Dettol, Izal and the other antiseptics?
A proper bath with any of the antiseptic soap and a little drop of antiseptic in water is all that is needed. The rumour flying around is linking the salt and water bath to some kind of spiritual/religious act.
I am not a zombie, I asked questions and do my research. Salt and water solution won't help you at all. Take a bath with it and the only thing you have ended up doing is making mockery of the education you have had all your life.
If a simple salt and water bath can prevent the spread of Ebola I am sure you would have heard it from an official and verifiable source by now and not bbm broadcast nor early morning calls from a friend or love one who is probably acting on fear. You should be educating them not fueling their fear. This is the same tactics religious leaders use to control their gullible followers.
Preach fear and they will be hooked. Please a simple washing of your hands with water and a normal water bath will be enough as long as you do not purposely expose yourself to someone whose case is obvious. A salt and water bath is an overkill. It is a joke taken too far and the laughable part of it now is that some people are even hinting on a religiously undertone (one said it was TB Joshua that said it) to it. A word is enough for the wise.

Don't mind him. He is a good example of the reason the country is backward today. They are quick to believe anything negative and refuse to apply reason and logic to anything. A cursory evaluation of the information will show a discerning mind that it is at best laughable.

If people fear God the way they fear Ebola virus to the extent of believing that salt solution would prevent them from contracting this dreaded virus, the world would have been a better place!
Re: Add Salt To Water To Bathe And Drink Against Ebola Virus by doyinmolah: 7:28am On Aug 08, 2014
Nigerians again with their superstitious belief. I could remember vividly January 6th or 7th 2011; the news about possible poisoning of the underground water by Boko Haram. Last year August was also the same with prophetic talk from the redemption camp to refrain people from wearing red clothes for that particular day. Africans with superstition. Na wa ooooooooooo

As some have already suggested you should burn your O'level certificate in chemistry if you have one. Your ignorance can only be pardoned if you did not do science in secondary school. I would hate to think you did it in university.
The chlorine atoms in salt are not free, they are fused in a type of bond known as ionic bond where the chlorine atom captures the lone electron in the outermost shell of the sodium atom to complete its shell. The resulting compound is more stable as a result of not having any surplus or deficit electron in their outermost shell.
In summary, chlorine is very reactive and quite hostile to DNA but chloride in salt is not.
