As long as the dead mouse is in your home, the smell will get worse with time as the animal decays. So itâs important to find the carcass ASAP and get rid of it to stop the smell from getting worse. To locate the dead mouse in a wall or enclosed space, follow your nose.
Most cucumber plants contain compounds known as cucurbitacins (âkyew-ker-BIT-a-sinsâ) that cause fruit to taste bitter. At low levels, you arenât likely to detect them. But high levels of cucurbitacins produce extremely bitter fruit. Some cucumber varieties possess a gene that inhibits their formation.
Actually you need to cut one specific end -- the darker green side. The other one, even of cut, would have no liquid paste secretion on rubbing and would not reduce the bitterness. We grow cucumbers in my native village and when we pluck one to eat and have no knife to cut the bitter side, we start eating from the other side.
