reyz2006 Posted July 26, 2005 #1 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I heard from a few people that if you put salt on a fly it will come back to life. I think it probably works better if it recently died or so i heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennRose Posted July 26, 2005 #3 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I have a sneaking suspicion that some folks are trying to invent their own urban myths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystery-man Posted July 26, 2005 #4 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Theres something much funner than killing a fly then drying it up. Catch a bee, freeze it for a while in the freezer, after that while bring buzzy out tie a piece of string to his body and when he wakes up he'll start flying and you'll have you're bee kite.

Moose-Of-Armageddon Posted July 26, 2005 #5 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Anyone want some Salty Dead Fly Pasties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnhZors Posted July 26, 2005 #6 Share Posted July 26, 2005 no it doesn't work but you can freeze various insect, including flies and they will wake up after their body warmth up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadEyePixie Posted July 27, 2005 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Yeah...I dont think thats going to work. As everyone else said, you can freeze things or even keep them in the fridge for a while and they wake up once they warm up. I have meal worms in my fridge right now and its weird watching them "come back to life." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ai_guardian Posted July 27, 2005 #8 Share Posted July 27, 2005 It's not an urban legend (the fly thingy) - it's true! I've done it a number of times but it is not 'bringing it back to life' - just sucking the water (using the salt) out of it. It goes like this... catch a fly but don't squish it submerge it in water until it drowns and stops moving put your drowned fly on a flat surface cover it with ordinary salt (a mound until it is burried and covered by the salt) wait 1-2 minutes and the fly will crawl out and fly away...voila it does work, the fly is not really dead just unable to breath cause of the water in its 'lungs?' - the salt sucks the water out and revives it (I think).

moomooman Posted July 27, 2005 #9 Share Posted July 27, 2005 ya we used to do this all the time when we were small. one time we squished one by accident and we put it in the water, poured salt on it, and it just stayed there. we also tried it with a beetle.

ROGER Posted July 31, 2005 #22 Share Posted July 31, 2005 When my kids were little I told them " If you put salt on a birds tail, you can catch him". While setting up a camping sight, you give them each a salt shaker and they leave you alone for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadEyePixie Posted July 31, 2005 #23 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I tried the whole drown it and cover it with salt bit. Do you know how long it takes to drown a fly? Forever...it started twitching a bit after a while, but it didn't crawl around. I probably goofed up the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
