TikTok Hack: Potatoes In Your Socks To Cure The Flu

I'll try it, but just to see what comes off my feet!

The bizarre remedy, known simply as “potato sock,” has gone viral on the app, with hundreds of clips showing social media users trying out the health hack.

With flu cases spiking this season, videos under the search term have clocked up an astronomical 8.1 billion views collectively.

People are willing to do anything to try and get rid of the flu.

Some doctors are calling this hack out as BS, but those desperate TikTokers have turned to the tater treatment after failing to overcome the illness with cold and flu meds.

@food_over_rx Replying to @myke2717 there is a huge difference from the potatoes with the fever to the ones without fever. Plus, I kept two slices out over night to compare it they weren’t as dark with a ring from day 1 #potato #potatosocks #remedy #flu #feverremedy ♬ original sound – Deejay JSG

Some now swear by the practice, saying the potatoes have helped draw toxins out of their bodies, leaving them feeling fresh and energized.
