fabulousdame: it sounded ridiculous in d first place..if u had ur bath with salt and water today, ur father should start collecting all the fees he paid right from nursery skul to watever level u are and invest d money in a cocoyam farm. grin grin grin



naturalingredient.org/Articles/salt.htm



"I initially thought I had flea bites, and so
took a warm bath in salt water and
covered myself and fresh bedding in olbas
oil and tiger balm. However on further
investigation and research, it is almost
certain that I had scabies - after the
above treatment the relief was immediate
and dramatic. All blotches, redness and
itching disappeared totally in 24 hours, so
something clearly worked"















I think this sarcasm is unnecessary; more like SALT upon injury

Instead of you to face your books, you are toying with national emergency question.

Let me tel you. You may be suprised but what yoiu have done amounts to pedling falso rumour that can be dangerous to netional life.

ENOUGH TO GET YOU ARRESTED.

However it is good you have come out to tell the truth

I suggest that you do more by going to the media. and facing the consequences.

The salt and water therapy is a total stupidity and ignorance of the highest order. The good thing is that salt sales will move up. I wonder the level of education in this country. The other day was bitter kola now it is salt and warm water. You can do like this

DRealGeesam1: My confession and apology

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.
How 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.

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.

How dare you get angry at those who insult you or express their disdain for you or your act? You think you have a right to defend yourself? You ought to shut up and drink down every comment as though it were juice. Nonsense. Such arrogance!

Re: I Started The Saltwater Ebola Cure Rumor I Truely Am Sorry by mescapee: 11:44am On Aug 08, 2014
Op, your apologies accepted but there is time for everything. This was really dangerous considering the situation facing us as a country and as individuals.

Rebuking the Op is welcomed but nairalanders still need to assist the Op in dispelling the rumour. Send counter messages to your peeps using the available media channels.

I must confess the Op has a bunch of gurus (friends) as first contacts when it comes to information dissemination. I call on our government (especially the health sector) to explore this approach in getting vital information on Ebola (and other issues) across to the populace. Nigerians are survivors. Either you (government) pass the needed information across or we do it our own way (including the salt issue of this morning).

Though I did not believe the rumour, I saw it as a plot from the salt manufacturers and distributors to provide an alternative source of chlorinated water (that is, chlorine in water). This (chlorinated water) has been making the rounds as an effective hand wash solution.

For those that took hot salt bath grin or drank hot salt drinks (water/tea) tongue this morning, was it effective against ebola? wink wink wink wink wink

ddooskie: If you received any message about salt in warm water preventing
Ebola and you believed and spread that message, here are some
small 'tips' for you:
1. Kindly go to your university, polytechnic or
college of education and return your degree certificate
2. Also please ensure you refund ALL the fees your parents paid for you.
3. And if you've not been to any school, don't bother to waste
your time, money and resources because it won't make any
difference.


This Sarcasm is unnecessary; more like SALT upon injury. With your degree, if you have one, come up with a solution. That's what's necessary now.
Re: I Started The Saltwater Ebola Cure Rumor I Truely Am Sorry by Mosandie(f): 11:46am On Aug 08, 2014
Lol... cheesy ,it was a prank after all.

Actually got a different version of d prank. My younger sis called me at about 6:30am saying a friend who was told by a friend that was told by a friend.....told her that Prophet TB Joshua announced that Nigerians should bathe with salt and hot water before 7am to avoid ebola. I went back to bed.
By 6:48am i had gotten 4 calls and messages frm well-meaning friends n relatives abt d same gist....then my neighbour comes knocking asking if i could spare some salt, she didn't have enough to prepare the 'anointed bath' for her family.... Since i couldn't confirm the story, i decided to be on d safe side.

Dear op, Pls don't do this again angry . There's enough to worry about already.

Thunder fire you.
What you have done is caused national panic and endangered the lives of many who might end up taking too much salt that can be detrimental to their health. You still have the nerves to be exchanging words.

THUNDER FIRE YOUR ENTIRE CLAN..

Just wait, i have forward your details to the appropriate authorities. One thing is sure, you will not graduate from that your school because you will be rusticated sharply and sent to JAIL you ugly bat.
Re: I Started The Saltwater Ebola Cure Rumor I Truely Am Sorry by Nobody: 11:48am On Aug 08, 2014
The only way I could have believed this rumour is if this same person(or his purported friend, Funke) had opened a 'SALT CURE EBOLA' rumour on Nairaland earlier. Anybody can open this type of thread and claim he/she is the cause of the rumour, just to get attention. But I bet it with you, no popular Nairalander would want to do it with his or her original username.
