eat a ton of garlic and you’ll be healed (according to my mother and her cold-killer soup)

ok so gargling warm salt water has done wonders for my sore throats in the past! i just microwave or heat up some water in the kettle and then take my salt shaker and shake a lil bit in the cup, then stir. make sure to "close off your throat" before gargling (sounds dumb, but the first time i gargled warm water i choked and it was kinda painful haha).
this next thing is really nasty but i swear i have never had a cold that this method couldn't beat. and it works SO QUICKLY. swallowing chopped up, raw, garlic. by the spoonful. I KNOW ITS SO BAD IM SORRY but it works so well (i think bc the garlic is so nasty it just creates a hostile environment in your throat that the virus doesn't like). it helps a lot if you do this before a meal, since then the garlic taste will be gone from your mouth before too long. i usually just take a spoonful or too with water, or pinch my nose while taking it to spare myself the taste.
feel better <3

a couple months ago i had plans to go on a date, but had a couple early cold symptoms & didn’t want to get them sick, so i tried taterhole’s rec of eating raw garlic!!!! i didn’t go back and read it again and just ate two whole garlic cloves. it was a profoundly unpleasant experience. spicy and so so strong. but it did absolutely work!!!! cold symptoms cleared up so fast and never grew into anything more sinister. afterwards i went back and reread the original rec and from memory i think u only have to eat one, and u can also chop it up and have it with honey. which would be way nicer. do that instead. my way left me with brutal garlic breath that literally lasted over 24 hours, no matter how many times i brushed my teeth, which wasn’t ideal since i was literally going on a date later. they laughed at me so much but they also did ask me to be their partner that day, so maybe it actually helped me get the girl????? impossible to say. anyway try garlic!!!!

i’m needing to remind myself that being odd and dressing uniquely is not a bad thing. going back to university and not knowing anyone in my classes while also showing up in a full tweed suit or a tetris cardigan or a long brocade jacket is okay. don’t let the uniqueness leave you just because people give you strange looks.
be more like the girl that dresses in head to toe lolita coords every day. or the guy that came to class dressed as soulja boy for no particular reason. get weird with it!!
