Sometimes I'm alright and sometimes it makes me cry. It sounds like you are really sensitive to it though (or the onions are really really strong). I have no actual solution though. I might try the chewing gum one.

peel it under the water onion has some compound thats soluble in water or something appaz and that is the compound that makes u tear
That's really bad considering you're not even the one handling them, nor in the same room. D:
I'd have to suggest with everyone else about goggles.
I've heard that chewing gum helps but I've not yet tried that theory.
bella ciao
Mine water if I'm chopping them. Never had an issue with me just being in the same room as them

I've left, but I still visit sometimes!
I was chewing gum at the time tbh, didn't make a difference, maybe that helps if you're nearby or something. Honestly though, it was a disaster, windows were all open and doors were closed but it crept up on me. If I buy goggles and look ridiculous and they don't work it will be the most embarrassing point in my life.
Hi, please refrain from chopping onions unless my safety goggles are on.
I might try it though, I look like a fool anyway.
I always have a damp cloth for my eyes when cooking with them because mine would sting. The goggles would prob work.
omg
the feeling of onion tears scares me
Put them in the freezer first
