Some folks say that chopping onions makes them cry, but I don’t suffer that effect. Don’t know why – my tear production seem normal (I don’t have dry-eye syndrome). What’s your experience?

I usually buy sweet onions, so no. But sometimes, maybe depending on the season, not so sweet onions end up in the sweet bin at the store and those make me blink a bit.

When I was in food service slicing a 50# bag for onion soup, that's a different story.
PSA. Onion fact: The thin membrane between the onion layers has coagulant properties. If you apply it over a minor laceration it will stop the bleeding.
-- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. --
