It’s our last episode of “What's Crap on WhatsApp?” this year. We’re looking back at four claims from 2023:

Yes, it is possible that drinking too much water can be lethal. https://bit.ly/water_intoxication

Do NOT throw flour on a fire - flour is a fuel that can itself catch fire. Ignore this widely shared advice. https://bit.ly/fire_flour

No, you still don’t risk catching leptospirosis by drinking from a tin can. https://bit.ly/leptospirosis_can

Beware of this dangerous advice! Colloidal silver cannot be used as an antibiotic or HIV medicine. https://bit.ly/colloidalsilver_antibiotic

Your friends and family can sign up for our show! Tell them to save our number (+27 82 709 3527) and send us a WhatsApp message to confirm. You can send us any WhatsApp message that you need fact-checked! Forward videos, pictures and links to this number.
