Alan, just be thankful you don't wear mascara, er you don't do you? - the onion tears and the mascara mix are a real problem. Hope the hand heals soon. Liz

I find it lessens the smell if I run the cold tap while peeling and chopping onions on a chopping board placed next to the sink (on the draining board). CB >|<

Swimming goggles - looks stupid but it stops onion juice from getting in your eyes so you don't cry.

I always run my onions under cold water before i start chopping, and find that it really does help...either that, or i've become immune to onion tears
