I was only saying earlier this morning that people creating stampedes over commodities like toilet roll were pretty bonkers but I take it all back and hope you can forgive me for jumping the gun.

Latest news fresh out of cow s*** baths in southern India suggests that some people there are definitely outdoing those who just want to keep their arse clean.

In fact, these people are literally bathing in crap as they firmly believe a cow dung bath holds the cure to coronavirus.

Apparently, it will make you immune or so matey says.

The men can be seen actually relishing in a cow turd bath – even diving underneath the no doubt germ-ridden ‘water’ rising to the surface once more beaming from ear to ear.

In the clip one of the men says:

“The whole world is terrified of the deadly virus outbreak”.

“If we all started taking cow dung baths, we will attain immunity from the virus”.

What’s your initial thoughts?

Game?

I mean over the years there have been some pretty bonkers alternative ‘medicines’ that have had people raving, including urine health tonics which claim to cure cancer, heart disease, allergies, diabetes and asthma.

The practice has been around for thousands of years, but no medical benefit has ever been proven – but apparently its really nourishing for the body.

But we guess that’s only in those who actually consume nutritional foods such as fruit and veg.

Probably not best advised for those who push around a stem of broccoli on their plate only once a year and their main diet staples consist of Maccy D’s or KFC.

But, aside from that we’re all for a beer spa.

But it’s more for its anti-oxidising properties and improving the skins complexion than actually being a cure for anything sinister.

The alcohol even absorbs through the skin which is said to help you relax.

Pissed skin cells – sounds epic.

Doubt I’ll be heading down to my local farm anytime soon (and there’s plenty of those in the Westcountry).

I mean have you ever took a whiff of a slurry pit?!

I would never advise bathing in one that’s for sure.

You’d probably die of drowning or contract some type of mad cow disease.
