Peel the onions in a bowl of cold water or under a running tap Refrigerate the onion to cool the gases that make your eyes water, this causes them to move down toward the floor instead of up toward your eyes. An old wives tale is to hold a tea spoon in your mouth Peel them outside so the wind blows away the onion fumes. Chew gum or eat sugar cubes (this causes you to breathe through your mouth, inhibiting the amount of gas that gets into your nose)
