Experts warn against using Benadryl and milk to treat COVID, despite NC lawmaker's post

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) – Several questionable methods have been suggested as treatments for COVID-19, from a medication that fights malaria to the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin.

But milk and Benadryl?

A North Carolina state lawmaker recently posted a study on social media that suggests compounds in those two commonplace products might be effective against the virus that causes COVID-19. Experts, however, say more research is needed, and warn against attempting to self-medicate with the compounds.

Rep. Jeff McNeely, R-Iredell, said on Facebook that milk “may be the answer to Covid-19,” before linking to the study published in November by an immunologist at the University of Florida.

One of his replies in the chain of comments read: “Drink up People.”

Were those posts meant to be taken seriously, or were they made in jest?

8. Three - count 'em three! - vaccines freely and widely available

"Nope! I'm a-gonna eat de-wormer and drink milk and benadry! Than I'm gonna drink my own pee."

It's like watching a clumsy tap dancer on the slippery edge of a cliff. Whether you're rooting for his safety or not, he's bound to put one foot wrong and take the plunge. Simply voicing your concern about him falling doesn't mean you're rooting against him; it's just an observation based on the indisputable facts before you: That guy's going to kill himself."
