Awareness Origin of coronavirus from Wuhan, China. However, with the passage of time, the country is on the way to liberation. However, other countries of the world are also fighting against this deadly virus by climbing the wall of China. On the one hand, the virus is spreading rapidly and so far no antidote has come out.
Unfortunately, there are a number of health tips to prevent coronavirus - often unnecessary or dangerous. But what do scientists say about these suggestions spread online?
Garlic:
There have been numerous posts on Facebook that read: If garlic is eaten, it is possible to prevent infection. The World Health Organization says, ‘Although garlic is a healthy food and it has antimicrobial properties.’ But there is no evidence that garlic can protect people from the new coronavirus.
In many cases, such remedies are not harmful to humans. But it can also cause damage. The South China Morning Post reported that a woman ate 1.5 kg of raw garlic to protect herself from the coronavirus.
This started a terrible inflammation in his throat. Later the woman had to be treated at the hospital. We know that eating fruits, vegetables, and water helps maintain good health. But there is no evidence that certain foods can prevent coronavirus infections.
Miracle solution
Jordan is a YouTuber with thousands of followers on various platforms. He claims that this coronavirus can be completely eradicated with a miracle mineral called MMS. It contains chlorine dioxide which is a bleaching agent. Mr. Saath and others have been promoting the substance before the coronavirus spread.
Last year the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned that drinking MMS is harmful to health. Health authorities in other countries have also issued warnings. The FDA says it is unaware of any research that suggests the substance may be safe or dietary for any illness. The FDA warns that drinking it can cause headaches, vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration.
Homemade disinfectant
An effective way to prevent coronavirus is to wash your hands frequently. Hand-washing water, which can instantly kill germs, is feared to run out. Italy is one of the countries infected with the coronavirus. When the news of the jail's demise came out in that country, recipes for how to make this jail at home started being given on social media.
But those recipes were basically those disinfectants যা which had to be used on the floor or table top of the house. But scientists say it is not suitable for the skin at all. Hand gels with alcohol contain 70% -80% alcohol along with a substance called emollient which keeps the skin soft.
Sally Bloomfield, a professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, says she does not believe it is possible to make a suitable disinfectant for hands at home.
Silver water
Colloidal silver is basically water where tiny particles of silver are mixed. U.S. televised evangelist Jim Baker suggested using this water.
One of the guests at the event claimed that this water is capable of killing several types of coronavirus. However, he admits that it has not been tested on Covid-19. Proponents of colloidal silver claim that it is an antiseptic, and can be used in a variety of treatments.
But the U.S. health authorities have made it clear that using this type of silver has no health benefits. On the contrary, its use can cause kidney damage and people may lose consciousness. They say that just as iron and zinc are good for the human body, silver is not.
Drink water every 15 minutes
A post from a Facebook account quoted a Japanese doctor as saying that the coronavirus virus enters the mouth but is expelled from the body every 15 minutes after drinking water. An Arabic version of this post has been shared 250,000 times.
But Sally Bloomfield, a professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, says there is really no evidence to support that claim
Avoid temperature and ice cream
There are many suggestions on social media that the virus dies in the heat. Drinking hot water, taking a hot bath, and even using a hairdryer are recommended. Such a post quoting UNICEF is being shared on social media in many countries.
It says that drinking hot water and standing under the sun will kill the coronavirus. Besides, eating ice cream has also been banned. But UNICEF says it's just fake news. The flu virus cannot survive outside the human body.
And to kill this germ outside the body, it would take a minimum temperature of 60 degrees Celsius, which is much hotter than bath water.
