In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu.. Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died.
The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was
very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was
different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a
dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The
doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions
and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did
this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the
bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.
Now there is a P. S. to this for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who
regularly contributes material to me on health issues. She replied with
this most interesting experience about onions:
Thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmer's story...but, I
do know that I contacted pneumonia, and, needless to say, I was very
ill... I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an onion
put it into an empty jar, and place the jar next to the sick patient at
night. It said the onion would be black in the morning from the germs.
..sure enough it happened just like that...the onion was a mess and I
began to feel better.
This is the other note.
Lots of times when we have stomach problems we don't know what to blame.
Maybe it's the onions that are to blame. Onions ABSORB BACTERIA is the
reason they are so good at preventing us from getting colds and flu and
is the very reason we should NOT eat an onion that has been sitting for a
time after it has been cut open.
LEFT OVER ONIONS ARE POISONOUS
when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the 'victim' last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?). It's probably the ONIONS, and if not the onions, it's the POTATOES.

onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions. You
should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion.it's not even safe
if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator.
It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a
bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those
onions you put in your hotdogs at the baseball park!). If you take the
leftover onion and cook it like crazy you'll probably be okay, but if
you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you're asking
for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad,
will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise
will even begin to break down.
Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions.
PLEASE REMEMBER IT IS DANGEROUS TO CUT AN ONION AND TRY TO SAVE IT TO
COOK WITH THE NEXT DAY, IT BECOMES HIGHLY POISONOUSFOR EVEN A SINGLE
NIGHT - AS IT CREATES TOXIC BACTERIA WHICH CAUSES ADVERSE STOMACH
INFECTIONS BECAUSE OF EXCESS BILE SECRETIONS AND EVEN FOOD POISONING.
