The fumes from raw onions are attracted to water . That is why your eyes burn - sting and water like crazy when you are cutting up onions . To prevent this soak up a couple paper towels and wad them up and place them next to your cutting board . No more tears guaranteed .

The other option is to refrigerate them. The cold stops the tears.

The only time I've seen tears in my father's eyes was when he was grating radish to make horse radish. My mom wound make him do it on the front porch.
