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 placed 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 virus, therefore, keeping the family healthy.
Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser in AZ. She said that several years ago many of her employees were coming down with the flu and so were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. It must work.. (And no, she is not in the onion business.)
The moral of the story is, buy some onions and place them in bowls around your home. If you work at a desk, place one or two in your office or under your desk or even on top somewhere. Try it and see what happens. We did it last year and we never got the flu.
If this helps you and your loved ones from getting sick, all the better. If you do get the flu, it just might be a mild case..
Whatever, what have you to lose? Just a few bucks on onions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Los virus fueron visibles hasta despues de la invencion del microscopio electronico en 1930...como le hicieron en 1919 para verlos...?
La peste es causada por la bacteria Yersinia pestis Esta bacteria es un cocobacilo gram negativo perteneciente a la familia de las Enterobacterias. El microorganismo puede mantenerse viable durante semanas en aguas, harinas y granos húmedos, y es destruido por la luz solar en pocas horas; se diferencia de la Yersinia enterocolítica porque la Yersinia pestis es inmóvil a temperatura ambiente.
El reservorio natural de la enfermedad son los roedores salvajes, conejos y liebres, carnívoros salvajes y gatos domésticos.
La peste es transmitida al hombre por la picadura de la pulga oriental de la rata, Xenopsylla Cheopis, por ello las personas y los animales que viven o visitan lugares donde recientemente han muerto roedores corren el riesgo de contraer la enfermedad por las picaduras de las pulgas. Ademas por alimentos contaminados por las heces de las ratas.
Se producen brotes en regiones donde las condiciones de la vivienda y de higiene son deficientes.
