What is the strangest cold remedy you’ve tried?

Gargling with salt water.

Corey Smith, Bradley

Steeped onions with sugar. You steep them and use the juice.

Agnes Shorette, Old Town

I would say the strangest was probably honey with vinegar.

Fernald Curtis, Milford

Irrigating your sinuses. It’s disgusting, but it helps.

Marie Lusth-Winn, Orono

Hot tea with honey and purified goat fat. It’s a Ukrainian remedy.

Barbara Murphy, Orono

Sit in the shower with a towel over your head to let the steam get in. It clears you up for about 5 minutes.

Dan LePage, Old Town

I don’t take cold medicines.

Frank Dubay, Old Town

When I get a cold, I always get a prescription from my doctor.
