Of course, we all teased her. I don't remember her or grandpa ever having a cold or being sick. Hmmm! I also remember her bringing over chopped onions when someone was sick and putting those in the room of whoever was sick. Don't remember them turning black or anything. She also used onion water to gargle. Chopped onion in a glass, just covered with water and some salt. Shake and gargle. She claimed it took a sore throat away and kept "ya healthy".<br />So goes the folklore of the onion!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00802042176033620330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681519665016202842.post-1844675686778874852011-12-05T08:00:36.331-07:002011-12-05T08:00:36.331-07:00I'm positive that the onion in the dish in the...I'm positive that the onion in the dish in the kitchen is staying where it is.

I'm just pretty sure no microbiologist in 1919 saw a virus under a microscope. I think there are "folk" remedies that are actually useful, and then people invent stories to explain why. So, hold onto the onions AND the positive thinking - both valuable.The Good Luck Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08448071993000984393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681519665016202842.post-76478033963918986392011-12-03T20:09:19.464-07:002011-12-03T20:09:19.464-07:00Maybe we are healthy because I keep a bag of onion...Maybe we are healthy because I keep a bag of onions in the closet in the living room. (the only other option is under the sink and the moisture and heat there cause rot) However, John likes cut up onions on his salad, I don't, so I always have a small bag of cut up onions in the fridge, as well as the other sections of the onion they came from.
