We tried this today and I guess possibly we didn’t do it right, maybe the water started off to hot and I had Sugar in a container so I’m not sure how much but it had to have been 3-4 lbs my husband sat in bath for an hour and about halfway through stuff did come out but it looked almost like phlegm or white clouds that when looked at closely were skinny tangled threads but they didn’t transfer well trying to get them out of the water and onto tissue it was similar to if someone spit in the water , it did initially help him feel better at first but that was short lived and I couldn’t get him to stay in over an hour.
