Does anyone know of any tricks?
I am really sensitive to onions. Does anyone know of any tricks to keep from crying while chopping them?

This is what works for me:
1. Refrigerate onions before cutting.
2. Run onion under cold water immediately before cutting.
3. Use a sharp knife.

Cutting Onions.
Use a very sharp knife, and slice, don't chop, or just push your knife down through them.
You could put them in the fridge for an hour.
Running under cold water will take some of the sharpness away, and it is an ideal way to tone them down if you wish to use them uncooked in a salad.

Wear glasses too. I have never shed a tear from an onion since I started wearing them. If you don't need glasses just get some lightly tinted sunglasses. It really does help.
