One of the most common questions about onions has nothing to do with eating them—it’s about why they make us cry and whether that irritation is harmful.
Why Do Onions Make Your Eyes Water?
When onions are cut, their cells release sulfur-containing compounds.
These compounds react and produce a gas known as syn-propanethial-S-oxide.
When this gas reaches the eyes, it reacts with moisture and creates mild irritation.
The eyes respond by producing tears to wash away the irritant.
Is Onion Eye Irritation Dangerous?
For most people, no.
Onion-related tearing is temporary and generally harmless.
It does not cause permanent eye damage.
People who wear contact lenses or have dry eyes may experience stronger irritation.
Rubbing the eyes can increase discomfort.
Ways to Reduce Eye Irritation
Use a sharp knife when cutting onions.
Chill onions before cutting.
Cut onions under proper ventilation.
Wear protective kitchen eyewear if necessary.
