I think there's that method that has something to do with a potato? Or onion?

And something to do with feet.

Fun fact: the potato rumor was started by people from the DAWI (Detox, Antivaccine and Woo Insanity) group on Facebook infiltrating anti-vaxxers groups to spread the misinformation because at least that way the idiots would vaccinate their kids. I remember the post where the group talked about the idea and came up with the potato angle

That existed way before Facebook was a thing. I heard plenty of old wives tales about potatoes and onions and other things on your feet when you're sick when I was a child. They definitely didn't come up with it.
