If think bathing with salt & water can prevent you from ebola then you should also bath with palm oil, it’ll prevent you from any bomb blast

And the amount of salt they’ll drink will be more than normal. Your kidneys,arteries,heart will sooner fail before Ebola gets to you. SMH

Salt baths are therapeutic, helps with insomnia, muscle pain. SEA salt, not mr. Chef. Definitely not for drinking and not a cure for Ebola.

Bright side to this is, those co-workers with bad body odour will not do rub and shine today. They will spend time bathing properly. 😀

@RevDrCraig Can salt help stop Ebola? Please reply.
— Eralimad (@EralimadA) August 8, 2014
@EralimadA Ebola is a VIRUS and is unaffected by salt. Bathing, drinking or, applying salt will have no beneficial effect whatsoever
— David (@RevDrCraig) August 8, 2014
@EralimadA No!
— David (@RevDrCraig) August 8, 2014
@EralimadA Salt is ‘bacteriostatic’ meaning it will slow the growth of most BACTERIA. Some salts are ‘bactericidal’ meaning it can kill them
