Sulfur. Bulb roots with higher sulfur content cause you to tear up. When cutting the bulbs, it releases the sulfur in a gaseous form. Gaseous sulfur seaks water and the most convenient/noticable place it finds it is in the very sensative tissue of your eyes. Sulfur While both onions and garlic have sulfur in them, in the onions there is more moisture which helps the sulfur (in the form of sulfuric acid) reach your eyes. Since garlic is smaller and usually not as juicy its sulfur doesn't make it to your eyes as easily.

How do you tell garlic from onion?
A garlic bulb is composed of a number of bulblets around a central core. These are known as "cloves" of garlic or what the Fench call gousses d'ail. Onions can be much larger than garlic, and have an internal structure of concentric scales so that if you cut across an onion you get the familiar onion rings. Onions can be round and spherical or long and cylindrical or like a much flattened sphere or any combination of these characteristics. If you come across onions and garlic with their green foliage still attached the difference is quite clear. Onions will always have a tubular leaf which if you cut you will find to be hollow. In contrast garlic has flat solid strap- like leaves.
