Today's Viral Myth
"Can a potato in your sock really cure a cold? We dig into this viral home remedy!"
This is not true. There is no scientific proof that putting a cut potato in a sock can cure a cold or flu. Potatoes do not draw out toxins from your body. Colds and flu are caused by viruses. Your immune system fights these viruses. Medical experts say that home remedies like this do not work to treat these illnesses.
