Urgh a cut onion helps breathing when you have a cold with nasal congestion, it doesn’t do jack shit for fever. There’s natural stuff that decently works but gets a bad from morons like this. Ughhhh.
I feel bad for the kids. They don’t deserve to die at the hands of incompetent parents.
One of the downsides of disrupting natural selection is that now we are keeping some people alive that probably should be taken by natural causes before they were able to replicate.
Your feelings are paradoxical.
I was waiting for someone to say something lol.
Yes. Those two things are antithetical of one another.
Remember, this person is eligible to vote.
[shudders]
Eligible doesn’t mean registered. A lot of these people are not big fans of things like government registries
A lot of these people do whatever their husbands tell them. Zero sense of self. They were raised to be obedient to their man and nothing more.
She might not be 18.
But even a toddler playing the doctor knows that putting onions in a socks isn’t a cure
you would be surprised how much folk ‘wisdom’ gets passed down through generations and continues to thrive. the thinking there being that natural is good because it can’t harm you (ignore mushrooms and beladonna, though). why take a pill produced in a lab somewhere, when you can just shove some onions in a sock?
I suspect that this is just communication breakdown, from times when people used herbs for medicinal purposes (liquorice root, for example, acts as an antiinflammatory by inhibiting breakdown of cortisol, and willow bark contains salicylic acid, a rough version of aspirin - the latter being acetylsalicylic acid, a derivative of it). but I think even the old witch in the woods would disapprove of onions in socks.
No one is arguing any different. Just pointing out the assertion that they are eligible to vote is in determinate.
Might not be. Even still, how much intelligence do you think they’ll gain by the time they are?
Were they fresh out of the fridge?
This would be similar to putting feet in cold water, temperature would lower slightly surely?
So just so that instead of onions ya freak
Onions are antibacterial and solve cough mucus, it’s not like it’s completely made up that they’re a natural remedy
… but they don’t help with fever, so I’d go even further than you and say the temperature simply dropped because time passed.
Yeah… My wife does the “bowl of onions” thing when the kids have a flu/cold with congestion. It does help with that part so they can breathe a little easier. It also makes the room stink for up to a week, and I seriously doubt it does anything for temperature unless cleared sinuses somehow also help bring that down.
You can also accomplish similar with a humidifier and some vaporub etc. I prefer the vaporub personally
A friend mixes onions (cut into pieces obviously), ginger and honey and eats that. Doesn’t make the room stink, maybe propose that?
…personally I’m a fan of hot tea with honey.
Ah so next time I have a cough, eat shit loads of onion?
But yeah haha, time is the likely answer.
The child’s immune system probably just fought off the infection. After all, that’s what fever is for.
The blessed fever. Simultaneously saving and killing us.
My child is near death. Can you make a grocery run?
the highlighted words have a message for you.
baby onions in socks
For sale: Onion socks, never worn.
What a tearjerker!
From the book “Medicine for Infants”, 956 AD
She should have tried eye of newt and toe of frog first.
I just dance around with a rattle and call on the power of Lemmywinks and it works for me every time
A story that The Onion would be proud of. Could have been used as a form of self-advertising, too.
My child instantly feels better when I supply vitamin TV.
They probably saved the onions and made a soup.
The next time she checked the temperature it was 76F works really good!!
You really want to add some rosemary and sage to the sock as well so it’s a proper bouquet garni. Then braise in a slow oven until fork tender.
