Why do we cry when we chop onions?

Ever cut an onion and started tearing up? Most people do. It turns out when you cut an onion, it releases a gas called, ready for this, Propanethiol S-oxide. When mixed with certain enzymes in the onion, it creates a sulfur gas. These gases then get to your eyes and create a mild acid which irritates the eyes.

Normally, your body would signal you to close your eyes. This, of course, is not a good idea if you are cutting an onion. The next best thing your eyes can do is to make tears to protect the eyes. Rubbing your eyes is a bad idea, since your hands are likely full of the tear making onion juice. So how do you keep from tearing up? There are many theories out there. I’ve heard some have had luck burning a candle near the chopping site. (Don’t try that without an adult.) Wearing safety goggles, however, should reduce the tears every time.

NOW YOU KNOW!

Yeah, now I know. My eyes sting because I was cutting the onions. My eyes got teary after I peel the fourth onion, I was annoyed. Come on, it's just the fourth onion.

Ordinary Day, Ordinary Life

Ordinary Day, Ordinary Life. What should I do to make my life more cheerful and more colorful? I always take up challenges to overcome fears in myself and also to gain new experiences, but, it felt so plain. Routines. It bored me to death. I met my friends to get rid of my boredom and I will meet my other friends. I've made the bonds, I'm going to strengthen it. We will always keep in touch. See you soon my friends. It is best that our life is filled with friends. Cherish them as much as we can.
