FOX NEWS: Doctor suggests salt to help fight COVID-19

Dr. Steven Quay suggests a novel method to enhance mask protection against germs amid the COVID-19 pandemic. By spraying a salt solution onto masks and letting it dry overnight, studies have shown up to a thousand-fold improvement in virus stopping ability.

The idea, detailed in Dr. Quay’s book “The COVID-19 Survival Guide,” involves salt crystals dissolving droplets containing viruses, ultimately leading to their destruction. The solution also includes a small amount of dish soap to further disrupt the virus’s fatty surface.

Although not specifically tested against COVID-19, the method offers an additional layer of protection and peace of mind. The recipe for the solution involves water, salt, and dish soap, with careful preparation and application instructions provided. While there’s no definitive proof of its effectiveness against COVID-19, it presents a potential way to bolster mask protection.
