I started having symptoms of a cold coming up and Lissie also started sneezing. Found out from a friend that by placing a cut onion in the room will help disinfect and absorb bacteria and germs. Gave it a shot! Seems to be working!

“Unfortunately, onions don’t appear to possess the kind of powers implied by the urban legend, notes the WSJ’s “Health Journal.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the only known way to avoid H1N1 was to get a vaccine, and that no verified natural remedies or herbal preventives existed — including the placement of unpeeled onions around the home. Onions, when eaten, contribute antioxidant nutrients and have a history of easing certain cold and flu symptoms. No evidence, however, exists to prove that the pungent vegetable diverts and absorbs viruses from the atmosphere.” – livestrong.com

Well, as long as it works, who cares!
