Why do you cry when chopping onions? No, it's not crippling anxiety, it's this weird chemical

Wolfetone,

if I remember to deliberately keep my mouth open whilst chopping onions, the effect is lessened - presumably I am breating in more of the compound in the immediate atmosphere - so less 'lands' in my eyes...

Cheers,

Jay
