Onion Husk Phenomenon

Bulb peel, or bulbous sclerosis, is a unique phenomenon associated with the structural features of the bulb.

When an onion is cut, multiple layers of thick, dry skin called “husk” are formed. This husk protects the fleshy scales of the bulb from drying out and mechanical damage.

The formation of multilayer husks is associated with the growth characteristics of the bulb. Every year the bulb grows new leaves from the center, and the old scaly leaves die off and turn into dry, dense covers. Thus, the age of the onion can be determined by the number of layers of husk.

Onion peel performs a protective function, preventing moisture loss and the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms. However, too much husk can make it difficult for new leaves and roots to grow.

Thus, the phenomenon of onion peel is the result of evolutionary adaptation, ensuring the survival of onions as a biological species. Studying this phenomenon helps to better understand the characteristics of the morphology and physiology of onion plants.



The bulbous membrane phenomenon is one of the most mysterious phenomena in medicine, which still has no clear explanation. The bulbous membrane is a protective layer that covers the central nervous system and brain. This layer not only provides protection, but also has a specific function in the brain related to processing and memory.

In ancient times, onion peel was used as a medicine to restore vision, but this did not have a scientific evidence base. Despite the fact that bulbous sclerosis has been associated with a disease of the optic nerve, it has now become the subject of close study by doctors. One of the first cases of this phenomenon was noticed by scientist Charles Peter Shimomura in 2013. He drew attention to a woman who complained of constant dizziness, memory loss and blurred vision. This was due to sclerosis of the bulbous layer, which connected the brain with nerve fibers.

The bulbous membrane is of interest to researchers because it may be involved in a wide range of diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and schizophrenia. When studying this phenomenon, scientists discovered that disruption of the functioning of the bulbous tissue is associated with disturbances in the synaptic connections of the central nervous system. This may result in decreased brain function and memory loss.

Research into bulbous membranes continues today, and although it is still a mystery, there is growing evidence linking it to various brain diseases. Physician Andrew Bloch notes that the development of treatments for bulbous sclerosis is becoming an increasingly urgent task for medicine, since it can affect the development and effectiveness of treatment for a wide range of diseases of the central nervous system, such as Alzheimer's disease.
