I'll submit this in a different way because I can't imagine that anyone here having an issue with onions or Barbara O'Neill.
The thing is, a LOT of people are having upper respiratory and sinus issues after the bug and need some better help than chemicals and toxins. And who doesn't have onions in the pantry?
If you have upper respiratory issues, have had the bug or just want to ward off colds and flu, HYDRATE and do any or all of the following:
Chop a bunch of onion and let the tears flow.
Put a good amount of chopped onion in a jar or a glass or ceramic bowl and pour honey over it. Cover and let that set for a day. Next day, strain, discard the onion and bottle the syrup that has developed. Use as you would any upper resp/cough syrup. It will keep for nobody knows how long. Some fraidy cats say a month, some have used the same bottle of syrup, as needed, for years so pull up your grownup panties, take a couple spoons of the syrup and put the rest in a jar or glass bottle in the fridge. If you get scared later, toss it and make some fresh. And don't let your chopped onion sit around uncovered, soaking up germs, while you're doing any of these onion things if you're sick.
Put some chopped onion on plates and set them around the house, out of the reach of kids and pets so they don't put the onion with its germ load in their mouths.
Put some Vaseline on the bottom of your feet, some chopped onion in a clean sock, put the sock on so the onion is on the bottom of your foot, put a bread or grocery bag or some sort of plastic over it and another sock over everything to keep it in place, grab a box of tissues and a plate of chopped onion, put the plate on the night stand next to the bed and go to be, take a nap or otherwise relax for a while. If THAT frightens you, put on a thin pair of socks, put the chopped onion in the bag, the bag over those socks with the onion at the bottom of the foot and the second pair of socks over the whole shebang.
Put the rest of the raw chopped onion on plates and set them around the house, someplace kids and pets can't get at it, before you lay down.
If you like raw onion, munch some with a little sea salt while you're chopping. When all is said and done, do NOT eat the onion you've used or that has been setting around in the open soaking up the "germs" from its surroundings if you or anyone are or have been sick.
When it comes to health, fear is poison SO, put on your superhero cape and giddyup. And it wouldn't hurt to do some of these onion things once a month. Skip the sock thing if you're not infected but pretend you're fending off vampires or werewolves or something malevolent, buy or dig up a bunch of onions and give the house a good onion fumigation once in a while. Couldn't hurt!
