False claim: Steam therapy (Inhalation of steam from boiling water, sometimes with various infused ingredients), will kill the coronavirus

[Mag3]

​

False: Adding other ingredients to the boiling water or steam, such as orange or lemon and peppermint oil will kill the coronavirus.

Fact: No. This technique will kill the Rona in your nasal passage and throat.

False: Adding essential oils or slices of the following for added benefits. Garlic, ginger, cayenne, tea tree, eucalyptus, or neem and many others.

Fact: No, but steam therapy can help thin mucus as a supplemental course of action to give some relief when grappling a cold or flu

False: Inhalation of steam from boiling water 2012°F/100°C, sometimes with various infused ingredients, will kill the coronavirus.

Fact: No and It only takes 3 seconds of exposure to 140°F/60°C water to cause a burn serious enough to require surgery!"

Fact check...

A video viewed more than 2.4 million times on Facebook urges people to inhale steam to “kill” the novel coronavirus. But experts say that doing so will not treat or cure the viral infection, and could in fact be harmful.

The video -- a more than 40-minute Facebook live from March 15, 2020 -- features a man whose page identifies him as a sound technician and songwriter. He urges people to boil water in a pot with sea salt and citrus peels, then inhale the steam from it for 15 to 20 minutes.

“I’m here today to tell y’all that I have a cure for the coronavirus,” he says, before adding: “Well, I wouldn’t say a cure, but I, yeah, I have something that kills the coronavirus.”

The video has inspired other people to believe they can cure the disease via this method. A clip viewed tens of thousands of times, shows a woman inhaling steam from a pot that contains orange peels, onion, garlic and iodine salt.

“She’s doing the steaming method for the coronavirus, and it is actually working,” a person says in the video, adding: “So this is the cure for the coronavirus.”

But inhaling steam will not cure a novel coronavirus infection.

In general, people may find that inhaling steam during any sort of respiratory illness helps with their symptoms, such as cough, nasal congestion and chest congestion. However, this is only symptomatic relief and it is not a treatment for any viral infection.

And you have the potential to cause real harm to yourself through burns from the heated water vapor to your eyes, face and airways, which if severe enough could cause serious and long-term complications.

The lungs are delicate, and steam is very hot -- not a good mix. Hot steam can and does damage the lungs, and the idea that it could fight a virus that also damages the lungs is just really bad advice.

“There is no miracle cure and researchers are doing their best to find something quickly but it will take time.

All those assumptions seem to be based on a belief that the virus comes in contact or is exposed to the high temperature from steam, which is not the case; unless one aims at preventing the very initial exposure to the virus before entry into cells.

Once the virus is vigorously multiplying in the cells, the temperature therein is not affected by steam, because of homeostasis..

So people should be walking around with their 'kinyungu' to prevent infection?

Very interesting observation!

If you say that water at 60°C will cook you up in 3 seconds, then how can 100°C steam be effectively used "to provide some relief" with cold and flu ????
