A broadcast being sent around has it that warm water and salt used early in the morning can make a difference against the disease. This news is false!
The truth is that Salt and Water can NOT cure or prevent Ebola in any way and in any form.
Salt water can be used for mouth sores or sore throats and is combined with sugar to make an oral rehydration solution (ORS) for people with cholera. Salt is also a good preservative but it does NOT cure Ebola!
