Corona panic caused superstition and suggestions for "grandmother drugs" for cubid disease 19 • from eating garlic, through water with silver particles to drinking every fifteen minutes • fiction or not? • We went out to check

The corona has been around the world for about three months, and as is often the case when a new disease that the world of medicine does not yet cope with, erupting on social networks is spreading various different grandmother drugs, whose distributors are convinced that they have found the ultimate cure for the disease. In general, it can be said overwhelmingly that in almost all cases these are the imaginations and delusions of harmless people, but when interfering with the health system to disseminate reliable information it becomes already more dangerous.

We have covered for you the bulk of the common myths that have started to gain momentum on social networks. true or false? The answers inside.

1. Eat garlic

Garlic is indeed a very healthy root, and according to the World Health Organization, garlic roots, as well as other fruits and vegetables in nature, contain anti-bacterial substances. However, there is no scientific evidence that no one can cure Corona. Worse, a Chinese newspaper recently reported a Chinese who ate 1.5 kg of garlic heads against the corona, and was consequently rushed to the hospital because of severe laryngitis caused by the burning of the roots.

2. The chlorine-dioxide mineral

It is a disinfectant for fruits and vegetables used as an anti-bacterial agent. However, it is a very dangerous substance, which has no relation to it with cancer treatment, as its followers claim, or the elimination of the corona virus. The American Health Organization has warned against the practice of drinking this mineral several times because it can cause vomiting, nausea, diarrhea and other damage it consumes. It is sad to find out how people consume material created to disinfect fruits and vegetables and need to be washed and turned into medicine.

3. Home detergents as an easy method of making hands-cleansing gel

Coronation panic has led to a worldwide shortage of approved disinfectants containing 60 percent alcohol, and various types of protein gel designed to prevent alcohol damage to the body. These are dermatologically tested substances that have been shown to be harmless. However, if you take carpet cleaning or floor cleaning material and start trying to make them a home gel replacement, your only "profit" will be severe skin damage. Also, do not consider using vodka as a hand sanitizer, as the most potent vodka has only 40 percent alcohol.

4. Water with silver particles

Here is an ancient human tradition, previously used against vampires, zombies and a long line of imagined black forces, that has moved into the modern world with its own upgrades. Therapists believe that drinking water concentrate with small silver particles should erase the corona within 12 hours of the body. But in fact, the silver metal is dangerous to the human body, unlike zinc and other metals, it can damage our kidneys, and worse for seizures, so save your money for your jewelry alone.

5. Drinking water every 15 minutes

It's no secret that drinking water is a healthy habit. However, from here to finding healing for Corona - the longest road. A person who introduced himself as a Japanese researcher claimed in a post on one of the social networks that drinking water every 15 minutes would clear the body of the corona virus. The post has been shared about 250,000 times. Of course this is a total scramble, as the corona virus is found in the cells of the body and there is no connection between it and water. Worse, such beliefs can cause people to drink excessively large amounts of water and suffer from water poisoning. So drink, it is healthy, but from here salvation will not come.

6.Not eating cold things, staying in saunas and heated pools

One of the arguments in the scientific world waiting to see if it is correct is the claim that the corona virus will stop or slow down when summer comes. This is how it happened with the SARS virus from the same family, which is how believers want to think about Corona. But if there is no summer at the moment, then people make a summer for themselves, long stays in saunas, staying in heated water or medicinal springs, and eating only hot foods. But the virus that is inside the body only dies at a temperature of at least 60 degrees, a heat that will damage the human body long before it gets infected. It is not impeccable to disinfect the bedding in hot steam or the dishes, but do not fret your body with saunas just to cope with the disease.
