A slice of potato under your feet is believed to 'draw out' illness from the body
A doctor has debunked a bizarre cold and flu hack using a potato slice that dates back to the Bubonic Plague.
Dr Deborah Lee from Dr Fox Online Pharmacy spoke to The Mirror about the trend, explaining that it offers "zero therapeutic benefit" and issued a particular warning against using it on poorly children. This might include steam inhalations, inhaling Vicks, drinking hot honey and lemon, and taking paracetamol or ibuprofen.
"I suspect the fact that one potato changed colour and the other didn't was that the two slices naturally contained different levels of natural, bioactive substances and that the mother was not as hot overnight as the child."
