Wrong!!
The attraction doen't happen till you take the skin off.
I do remember as a kid, you could make yourself sick by holding a cut onion in your armpit. A way to skip school, although not too bright a one.

Snopes is correct about onions, but they haven't proved to me that garlic doesn't repel vampires...I have proof. For as long as I've kept garlic in
the house, there hasn't been a single vampire. Works for chupacabras, too.

I've kept cut into onions refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. Done it forever.
I'm still here.

This is what a friend of mine had to say about this...
This scientist can tell you that a country doc could not see a virus through his microscope. I cannot see them thru mine. Only electron microscopes
are powerful enough, super expensive and huge. It is very true about mayonnaise. The vinegar in it acts as a preservative. I wouldn't store it at
room temp though, because the oil in it will oxidize and loose it's good flavor. I don't buy any of the onion/garlic story though. Sounds like
internet legend. Onions aren't poisonous. I eat old ones from the frig all the time.
Did you know that white vinegar mixed with bleach (greatly diluted with water) is a powerful germ killer? It works on viruses and bacteria.

Many complaint on mexican vegtables. Contracted flu following first Mx vegtables I ate.
I am using isopropyl alcohol on all vegtables eaten raw. Iso, wipe/rubout with paper towel, rinse with clean water.
No essentail bacteria and maybe less or no shipping wax.
Also, iso the knife handle-blade juncture where bacteria colonize. Brush that out. If the 'runs' or 'water tummy ' were experienced on the road or
camping, the knife handle colony is suspect.
