Continued You might have received a facebook hoax when:
it says they heard it on FOX news - it might be a hoax
if you put something odd on a burn to make it heal - it might be a hoax
it appears as an image with lots of text - it might be a hoax
Lots of dangerous stuff floating around. Remember you, your children or grand children might try some of the nonsense you share. Google is your friend, confirm before posting.
