I call BS on all of that. Salt water cures almost everything that ails you.
Growing up, have a cold or sore throat......Grandma - here you go Son gargle this warm salt water, spit it out & do it again.
Ever get a cut, scrape, stab wound.....you go straight to the salt water.
Dog or Girlfriend from Port Aransas has flees? Straight to the salt water.
I don't care what you say, salt water will cure anything.
I even tried it with hemorrhoids, burned pretty bad but it worked!
These folks talking about getting the flesh eating bacteria from salt water, you need more Vitamin C and Jesus.
I am interested in the salt water cure for hemorrhoids. Do you dab the water on or insert it?
LOL, all you have to do is go swimming in it a few times.
Lemme give you a warning though if you're ever out swimming/floating in REAL salty water...
I was once doing a project in Israel and was beached for a week due to high winds, so decided to spend a little money and go tour some of the places I've been hearing about all of my life. One of those places was the Dead Sea. It's the geographical lowest place on Earth, and the water there is EXTREMELY salty. Caked up salt everywhere. There is no swimming in it really, the water is so salty you just float. Doesn't matter what you weigh, you just float either on your back or straight up & down. Anyway, there are signs all over warning you about not splashing or diving etc, because the water is like acid if it gets in your eyes. I did get some in my eyes after a dingbat coonazz colleague of mine that apparently couldn't read, came running and dove in splashing all of us. That sucked pretty bad. Anyway, there I am floating on my back. Was actually pretty comfortable and I was able to just relax. Then I learned something. Whilst floating in the Dead Sea, do NOT fart. I thought getting that water in my eyes was bad, try getting it in your chicken eye. Instant freakin' pain and I ain't gonna lie, I yelled and maybe screamed a little. All of my work buddies were like, " Hey man you aight? Good Lord, what's going on over there?". It was a little embarrassing, but it killed them hemorrhoids.
Just a little advice there.....
