Thiopropanal sulfoxide. It is believed that this molecule forms sulfuric acid when it hits your eyes and makes them burn. This does not appear to be harmful to to body.
mild sulfuric acid.
More correctly, propanethiol S-oxide, which produces sulfuric acid when mixed with tears from your eyes.
All onions make you cry, because when you cut them, the enzymes inside combine to make a gas that wafts up from the onion. When the gas touches the water in your eyes, it forms sulfuric acid, which is what makes your eyes cry in order to wash the irritant away. You can avoid this by cutting the onion under water, or chilling it.
No, onion juice makes your eyes tear up and cry because they don't like the juice. Do not squirt onion juice into your eyes.
enough to make your eyes water.
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.

Fresh onions always make my eyes water when I am peeling them. However, an onion soup mix does not have that affect. The onions are not fresh and there is no reason that your eyes should turn red from opening a package of onion soup mix.
A cut onion releases an irritant into the air which irritates our eyes, the body's response in turn is to try to get rid of the irritant through the production of tears. You can try one of two things to have your eyes water less when cutting onions...one is to cut your onion under a stream of water from your tap, the other is to not cut the end of the onion that has the roots on it...this will result in less irritant being released. kutay

It is due to breathing through your nose and the associated odor of the onion. By breathing through your mouth (or gnaw on a toothpick?) you should be able to control the weepy eyes and nose. According to the food channel, it's because when you cut the onion, you pierce the cells which releases a chemical which irritates the pink tissue of the eyes & nose. Which are proximate to the source when looking down to slice & dice. Wanna real treat? Cut up some horseradish, it's guaranteed to run you out of the kitchen right fast!
no it will not the air that makes people cry is frozen and will no longer burn your eyes.
