Since tears come out of your eyes, you could technically get your eyes removed so you could not physically cry anymore :)

Can chewing gum prevent you from crying when cutting onions?

When cutting onions, cells are broken, releasing certain substances that are modified and then reach the eyes through diffusion, where they cause irritation on contact. To prevent the eyes from watering, you have to prevent the gas from reaching them - for example by cutting the onion underwater. Chewing gum might help a little if you chew with your mouth open and also breathe through your mouth. You will simply disturb the gas's diffusion this way.


Would wearing goggles prevent you from crying when cutting an onion?

Yes it would. The volatile oils in the membrane between layers of onion make your eyes water, provided the onion is sufficiently warm; if the onion is cold the vapours won't be released during cutting. For this reason, onions should be kept in the refrigerator; store them in a plastic bag, twisted to keep out the air. You can put them in several layers of plastic bags, or in a tightly-sealed plastic container so that they don't cause your refrigerator to smell of onions.

you cry when cutting onions because the chemical from the onion is attracted to moisture, and so as your eyes are full of water the chemical will irritate your eyes and tear ducts. in conclusion, yes candle light MIGHT help as the flame will evaporates the moisture and yet it might NOT help as the flame cant take all of the moisture out of your eyes.

Will microwaving an onion make you stop crying?

By microwaving the onion you will cook it, this will prevent you from crying when you peel it but will also spoil the onion. Try this instead peel the onions in a bowl of cold water or under a running tap, or peel them outside so the wind blows away the onion fumes. Or try an old wives tale which is to hold a tea spoon between the teeth in your mouth. Good luck.
