Afzelii) Eating ewedu; cochorus olitorius (a vegetable commonly eaten as soup in Nigeria) Salt bath and drink Kerosene bath Bath with bleaching agent (sodium hypochlorite) Social media has been used to transmit information about these myths Consequently, many have died in Nigeria as a result of the ingestion of over concentrated salt drink Research and health education is required to verify and highlight the danger of these claims
