Um... put a little water on the onions. That helps.

put a teaspoon in your mouth, upside down, so the 'bowl' presses against your soft palate

if nothing else it will be so irritating that you'll be distracted ...

If you have a fan over your hob, move your chopping on to your hob and turn it on. It instantly sucks away the fumes.

I heard once that biting down on a wooden pencil is supposed to help, though it never has for me. My mom says she has less difficulty when she's wearing her contact lenses. ...which also doesn't work for me. :-D Basically I'm left not using onions or chopping as quick as I can and praying I don't accidentally cut my finger in the process.

Also I realize that you're probably done cutting the onions by now, so this is all moot anyhoo. Heh.

I keep my onions in the fridge and then I stick them in the freezer for 10 - 15 minutes before I get to cutting them. It cuts down on the fumes quite a bit.

I read an article that says chewing gum while you chop helps your eyes, though I forget the hows/whys of the thing.

What're you making?
