In my honest opinion, these people should not have pets. If they brainlessly follow random TikTok person instead of actual proven products specially made for pets, what else will they do when a random person says something?

In this specific case, there's really no harm and it is probably better for the cat to accidentally consume some tumeric instead of flea shampoo. If it helps with fleas and you don't mind having a yellow cat, who cares?

This assumes that these people at least took a moment to check that tumeric isn't poisonous to cats. If they didn't, I agree with you fully.
