Sock onions, of course, why didn’t I think of that.
If the baby lives, the onion worked. If the baby died, didn’t use enough onion.
God’s plan
It amazes me that people are still this stupid.
Some people are so stupid it should be illegal.
My child instantly feels better when I supply vitamin TV.

They probably saved the onions and made a soup.
Unblinded study with n=1 test condition and no placebo / control.
All she needs to do is say that her conclusions haven’t been evaluated by the FDA, and she’s proved it enough to sell onion socks online.
And honestly, if she was giving baby Tylenol and antibiotics and whatall, I wouldn’t care if she put onions in their socks. It doesn’t hurt anything in the long run. But they don’t.
n=1
The thing with the onions is a well-established folk remedy. I even had it done to me when I was a little kid. I’m pretty sure that it doesn’t help (and appears to work because fevers generally go away on their own) but the OP isn’t simply making it up. Many people must have thought that it worked well enough that it was worth passing down over generations.
Ok. I didn’t realize this bullshit was grandfathered in.
I don’t see how it’s funny. This kid is definitely not getting the treatment that they need in the future.
Just imagine the baby with a socks full of onions instead of imagining a dead baby.
The annoyingly stupid part is that for most fevers that don’t approach the “You need to go to the ER right now” point it’s actually best to simply let it run it’s course and not try to “break” it with drugs since a fever is your body’s own defense mechanism.
But these antivaxxers will do this stupid shit, then go “see it works” and then try to apply it to everything else
102.6 in an infant was er territory I thought
Yeah above 100 is doctor visit time, be it in C or F
Above 100c I’m not wasting money on a doctor.
Then I sure as hell hope you’ve never been responsible for caring for an infant.
At 100c it has been dead for a very long time. 63C is medium rare for pork which means most humans should be well cooked at that temp.
If baby temperature is 100c, its more reducing it to a simmer and covering with a lid temperature rather than a doctor temperature
100 degrees C for 30 minutes, longer than that and the meat gets too stringy
I would have though a baby would be treated more like a brisket and that’s way to little time.
Perhaps a nice braise
Apologies I got my cooking instructions from google ai
In Celsius, 40º+ deserves a hospital visit (35-36º is the usual body temp). If you somehow manage to get it to 100º, please take pictures, I’m pretty sure the body would glow
I’m pretty sure the body would glow
Nah, boiling water doesn’t glow. But it would probably be pretty foamy, from all of the proteins in the boiling blood.
At 38c you should be calling the doctor and at 39 you should be in the ER.
For infants it is usually recommended to seek treatment from your pediatrician for a temp over 100.4°F. (See link)
Gotta love that metric-conversion decimal dust.
100.4 F is 38 C which is the actual measurement.
In defense of Fahrenheit, the resolution for human relevant temperatures is higher. Theoretically ideal for medical settings.
But not if you use whole number Celsius and just convert to Fahrenheit.
You are correct… kind of. It’s a weak defense because you can always use a decimal to get more precision, and thermometers are only so accurate in their measurements anyway.
You can do about as well with increments of 0.5 degrees Celsius as you can with whole degrees Fahrenheit, and most medical thermometers are only accurate within about 0.1° – 0.3° C anyway.
Yeah, pretty much anything in the triple digits is “call the pediatrician” levels when dealing with babies. Babies’ immune response is more focused on accepting immunizations from breast milk, and it will basically try to integrate things that have been filtered through mom first. The default response isn’t straight to “kill it” but rather “study it so we can protect against it later.” So babies’ immune systems really aren’t prepared for a full blown infection, because it won’t jump to actually fighting the infection until it is already pretty bad. If their temp is in the triple digits, it’s usually a sign that they caught something that didn’t already get filtered through mom’s immune system.
She’s an idiot. When I have a fever I tie an onion to my belt, which is still the style.
Really? I always rub one over my penis, you know, the classy way
Waaaay up your butt
Ginger works better.
It’s knobbly for our pleasure
Makes me act like a horse ten years younger.
Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. “Gimme five bees for a quarter,” you’d say.
And not one of those fancy white onions like you have now.
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.
For a second I thought that baby was boiling, but then I remembered Fahrenheit exists 😂
Dropping onions in boiling baby makes more sense.
People need to learn that you need to slow cook baby on low temp. They get chewy otherwise
If you use this trick repeatedly, temperature may drop way further!
The next time she checked the temperature it was 76F works really good!!
