Onions are supposed to be used in the process of preparing many dishes, but they can also be a solution for some household problems.

For example, let's talk about a purely summer problem - mosquitoes and midges, the itching from whose bites does not allow you to sleep peacefully at night.

According to one folk recipe, if you don’t want to be bitten by insects, you should grate the onion on a fine grater and squeeze out the juice.

The resulting liquid should be used to rub the skin.

Since mosquitoes cannot stand the smell of onions, they will not come within cannon shot of you.

However, you should not rely entirely on folk advice - remember that onion juice can cause a burn, so it is better to consult a doctor before carrying out such a procedure.

As for the cold season, onions will be useful for car enthusiasts.

As you know, car windows often get covered with ice overnight. If you want to prevent ice from forming on your glass, rub it with half an onion.
