According to Joe, slicing onions produces a gas that turns into sulfuric acid when it comes into contact with the moisture in your eyes. That's why the eyes start to burn and tears are released. The expert says that the effect of onions on the eyes can be minimized with a simple paper towel.
Use a damp towel.

Just moisten a towel and place it directly next to the onion. In this way, the gas released from the vegetable will settle on it and will not reach your eyes. Of course, this won't completely prevent your eyes from crying, but it will make the discomfort much easier.
There will be significantly less tears.
