She's an idiot. When I have a fever I tie an onion to my belt, which is still the style.

The annoyingly stupid part is that for most fevers that don't approach the "You need to go to the ER right now" point it's actually best to simply let it run it's course and not try to "break" it with drugs since a fever is your body's own defense mechanism.

But these antivaxxers will do this stupid shit, then go "see it works" and then try to apply it to everything else

I feel bad for the kids. They don't deserve to die at the hands of incompetent parents.

One of the downsides of disrupting natural selection is that now we are keeping some people alive that probably should be taken by natural causes before they were able to replicate.

For a second I thought that baby was boiling, but then I remembered Fahrenheit exists 😂

Remember, this person is eligible to vote.

If the baby lives, the onion worked. If the baby died, didn't use enough onion.

Unblinded study with n=1 test condition and no placebo / control.

All she needs to do is say that her conclusions haven't been evaluated by the FDA, and she's proved it enough to sell onion socks online.

The next time she checked the temperature it was 76F works really good!!

My child is near death. Can you make a grocery run?

the highlighted words have a message for you.

baby onions in socks

You really want to add some rosemary and sage to the sock as well so it's a proper bouquet garni. Then braise in a slow oven until fork tender.

I've joked about onions in socks being a home remedy for stupid shit, but I never imagined that anyone would actually do it. I hope they didn't get it from me.

I think its kind of weird everyone just assumes this was posted by a woman, unless I'm missing something. Men are parents too, and they can also be dumb like this.

My child instantly feels better when I supply vitamin TV.

It amazes me that people are still this stupid.

Don’t keep your baby at over the boiling point of water.

What happened here is that some time passed. She could have rubbed her elbows with goose fat or did a rain dance and would have had the same result in the same time frame.

Conversely, if you burn your onion while cooking, you can put a few baby slices in the pot to make it go away.

Sock onions, of course, why didn't I think of that.

Or... Ya know, you're full of shit or your thermometer also doesn't work.

Child abuse.

I don't see how it's funny. This kid is definitely not getting the treatment that they need in the future.

Some people are so stupid it should be illegal.

From the book "Medicine for Infants", 956 AD

She should have tried eye of newt and toe of frog first.

A story that The Onion would be proud of. Could have been used as a form of self-advertising, too.
