Most of you here coming to rant here..hehehe helped spread the crazy salt therapy. Infact most peo had bath with warm water with salt this morning..
I also blame all those who received the message and knew better but didn't sent a counter message to refute the salt therapy, too bad!
This is nigeria there are so many educated illiterate who are blindly ignorant not to mention the fully illiterate who don't know because they don't know how to know - these are ones I really feel sorry for in a time like this..
Advice: we all ve part to play to stop silly rumours from spreading all over

Educated Nigerians and ignorance.

Acting on an unconfirmed news (about Ebola) has recorded more casualties in less than a day than Ebola itself has in about a month.
So pathetic.


RIP--to the ones who have lost their lives.

if this is true, then its very unfortunate. The moderators should be more careful in the future as incidencies like this may lead to a lockdown on nairaland and we don't want that.

Ignore that clown for good undecided I am very sure he sees Jonathan everytime he dreams.....too much of salt intake leads to high blood pressure and also leeches calcium off our bones. Salt is a good mineral for the body but if abused, it can kill. I eat salt free and oil free food which makes me strong kaakaa through a Titanium 316 Ti stainless steel. Let's mind what we eat!

my dear keep quiet and deal with the situation at hand. Its your type that spread falls information at the detriment of the Nigerian populace. What else do you expect government to do that they are not doing? instead of people to follow what health experts have told them they prefer to consume rumour till they die.

I guess that arrogant pedler of the rumour can now smile at what his so called prank has caused. Whosoever he or she was never knew that it was criminal of him to quote the fed. Min. Of health for his game. Most people only fell prey because of that. And I guess it would amuse him/her the most th know that they could already since being under the searchlight of the DSS. Someone asked what's wrong with being black? I think you now have all your answers. Whites are seeking ways out of this mess, while some blacks find it the most viable ocassion to exploit.

bigass: I dont believe this. So you take high salt and low and behold hypertension. Ubanu
sodium in table salt(sodium chloride) is a vasoconstrictor.(it causes d blood vessles to become narrower thereby increasing blood pressure). So dont flaunt ur ignorance.

For those who believe bathing with salt
reduces the risk of EBOLA infection this
is for you. A new study suggests that
for faster result, you are advised to add
dried red pepper, Cameroon pepper
and alligator pepper to your bathing water. Also akanwu, Ogiri Igbo and red
palm oil. Its been proven that while the
hotness of the pepper burns out the
Ebola virus, the red oil makes your skin
soft and smooth, the Ogiri Igbo leaves
you a long lasting aroma. Note before: the temperature of your bathing water
should be at least 100 degrees Celsius.

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE HOSPITAL,WHICH DOCTOR TREATED THEM,WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE
you want Africans and Nigeria to seat and watch.why a minor sickness that was invented kills them,it wouldn't work for you people.
we are becoming wiser now

NgeneUkwenu: At least two persons have been feared killed and 20 others hospitalised in various hospitals in Plateau State after consuming excessive quantity of salt and bitter kola to prevent Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) attack.

The two, according  to a source in Shendam who spoke with our reporter on phone, were rushed to the hospital by their family members after they suddenly collapsed in the morning, having consumed too much of salt over night. They later died of high blood pressure in the hospitals.

According to medical personnel in the hospitals where the other patients are currently taking treatment in Jos, some developed ulcer, while others stool profusely, having consumed the table salt in excess.
