Doctors in India are warning people not to use cow dung to stave off COVID-19, saying no scientific evidence exists that it works.

In the state of Gujarat in western India, where cows are considered sacred, some people are going to cow shelters once a week to cover themselves with cow feces and urine. “As participants wait for the dung and urine mixture on their bodies to dry, they hug or honour the cows at the shelter, and practice yoga to boost energy levels. The packs are then washed off with milk or buttermilk,” Reuters reported.
