Onions contain varying amounts of disulfide and SMCO toxins, depending on the species of onion, time of year, and growing conditions. Storing onions in large piles also provides a suitable environment for contamination of the crop with other toxins, such as mycotoxins, which could contribute to the disease process.}}</ref><ref>Possible experience factor:<br />•&nbsp;{{cite book |first=Zoomi |last=Singh |chapter=Potential Side Effects of Chives |title=Chives: Nutritional Value, Health Benefits and Potential Side Effects of Chives |date=12 October 2022 |location=[[Singapore]]|publisher=HealthifyMe |chapter-url=https://www.healthifyme.com/blog/chives-benefits/#Potential_Side_Effects_of_Chives |access-date=17 March 2023 |quote=Chives can be potential gastrointestinal irritants in some people. The reactive oxidants released by chives can stimulate bowel problems such as diarrhoea and acid reflux. / '''Alliums can cause digestive disorders'''. Chives belong to the Allium genus and have an acidic pH of 5.75. It is a pH range that would make gastritis worse. Moreover, the high fructans content in chives triggers acid reflux. It would aggravate gastritis.}}</ref>
