For a second I thought that baby was boiling, but then I remembered Fahrenheit exists 😂
Dropping onions in boiling baby makes more sense.
People need to learn that you need to slow cook baby on low temp. They get chewy otherwise
The next time she checked the temperature it was 76F works really good!!
My child is near death. Can you make a grocery run?
Some people are so stupid it should be illegal.
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.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got him. The mastermind.
I’m a time traveller from the future. Your legendary home remedies and LPTs, or “scutigerisms” as they’re known, have become the basis for our entire culture!
Don’t keep your baby at over the boiling point of water.
What? They were clearly using the delisle scale…
I don’t see how it’s funny. This kid is definitely not getting the treatment that they need in the future.
Just imagine the baby with a socks full of onions instead of imagining a dead baby.
Child abuse.
Sock onions, of course, why didn’t I think of that.

Conversely, if you burn your onion while cooking, you can put a few baby slices in the pot to make it go away.
Or… Ya know, you’re full of shit or your thermometer also doesn’t work.
Or the fever happened to come down on its own.
Or they used it wrong
Were they fresh out of the fridge?
This would be similar to putting feet in cold water, temperature would lower slightly surely?
So just so that instead of onions ya freak
Onions are antibacterial and solve cough mucus, it’s not like it’s completely made up that they’re a natural remedy
… but they don’t help with fever, so I’d go even further than you and say the temperature simply dropped because time passed.
Ah so next time I have a cough, eat shit loads of onion?
But yeah haha, time is the likely answer.
Yeah… My wife does the “bowl of onions” thing when the kids have a flu/cold with congestion. It does help with that part so they can breathe a little easier. It also makes the room stink for up to a week, and I seriously doubt it does anything for temperature unless cleared sinuses somehow also help bring that down.
You can also accomplish similar with a humidifier and some vaporub etc. I prefer the vaporub personally
A friend mixes onions (cut into pieces obviously), ginger and honey and eats that. Doesn’t make the room stink, maybe propose that?
…personally I’m a fan of hot tea with honey.
The child’s immune system probably just fought off the infection. After all, that’s what fever is for.
The blessed fever. Simultaneously saving and killing us.
