I was sick and put an onion in my sock

[hateraid]

My cold went away in a couple of hours. This is supposed to be some sort of wives tales saying that the onion will suck out germs through your feet. Don't know how legit it is but it worked for me.

Anyone else try it?

Lol, I should've tried it. I started getting a sore throat and the sniffles/sneezing on Tuesday, felt miserable on Wednesday and Thursday and by Friday the worst had passed. I don't like taking medication, I would rather the virus takes it's course and let my body heal itself naturally.

The onion thing doesn't sound convincing, like do you put an onion in your sock and you go walking around all day on it? How the hell does that not feel uncomfortable? There's another wive's tale about sweating out a cold, I did some research on it and doctors don't believe in it but I remember when I was a little kid, my mom gave me some aspirin, chicken soup, orange juice and tucked me under a bunch of bed sheets. I woke up dripping wet with sweat but my cold was gone. I haven't tried it since though...

LOL, this nigqa..

Chop up some onion, soak your socks in vinegar, put a towel under your feet wherever you're gonna be laying so shit don't get wet, put chopped onions in sock and onto your feet. Helps the flu/fever go away much quicker, works every ****ing time. Obviously you won't walk around with it, best way is to do it before bed so you sleep through the night like that (wrap your damn feet up in that towel, dnt fck up).

i'm not totally surprised, i had people tell me that onions cleared your sinuses for the same reason they make you cry. he seemed to know what he was talking about. and bram stoker wouldn't have included it in ****ing dracula if they didn't have serious benefits right?

[macmac]

My cousin used to tell me something similar when he would stick his c0ck in my ass whenever I couldn't fall asleep during sleep overs....I'm not sure it worked though, I think it was mostly placebo.

In fact, now that I think about it, he would often wake me up in this fashion, which completely went against the logic he was trying to present.

fresh garlic is pretty much an anti-germicidal miracle and onions are a close relative of garlic, so maybe that's not the craziest old wive's tale ever.

I chopped it into a patty style and stuffed it in my sock before bed. I happened to be still awake but I cleared up a couple of hours later. Normally I get sicker before I sleep. I do that thing where I lay on one side of the pillow to unstuff my nose. Went away that evening

For the price of a .25 onion it was worth it. The only complaint was the wife saying I smelled like a Whopper in bed

Haha, you frenchies always have an old wives tale that has a ***** in the bum. Too funny.

[oh the horror]

Also heard you can do variations where you shove the onion up your ass and it's supposed to take away the cold even FASTER.


Let me know how it works guys

So if garlic is an anti-germicidal, does that mean it works against substances that kill germs?

[Funktion]

Antiviral I think something about the "allicin" compound. I'll load up on stufg with Garlic or Ginger when I get sick.
