well since i ain't got no internet, here's an appalachia fact in lieu of a poll (there's still a few in the queue lol)

a remedy for a fever in appalachia is "sweating it out", aka layering up, sitting by a heater, heating pads, anything you can do to make yourself warm. course, this ain't exactly what you're SUPPOSED to do (minimal light clothing, room temp, cool rags, etc), but it's what my family has done long as we can remember

#salem chatter #obligatory don't do this lol #i do but only for low grade fevers #i almost died from a fever of 106.7 once so. yknow #anyway do as i say not as i do #(note: the 106.7 degree fever has no relation to this method #i was naked up til the paramedics came lmfao)#another remedy: MOONSHINE! white lightnin. amen
