There’s no cure for the common cold. There’s no cure for the coronavirus. But there MIGHT be a cure for the flu . . . and it involves pressing a potato against your foot. This is not science . . . it’s TikTok.
A video is going viral online, where a woman shares a flu “remedy.”
You take a potato, cut it in half, and then slice off two pieces. You press the potato slices against the bottom of your feet . . . put socks over them to keep them in place . . . and remove them in the morning.
There will be an indentation on your feet, which she says is “normal.” And the potato slices will be a “disgustingly dark” color, because “the toxins are removed.” (???) She insists you’ll feel much better. (Which is definitely NOT a placebo effect, and the mysterious medicinal power of spuds.)
(Here’s video. If anyone is willing to try this, we’d LOVE to hear how it worked for you.)
