I can cut onions without crying, without even feeling it.
I was cutting them the other day and my mum was standing in the dinning room balling her eyes out. I didn't even feel it.
Am I weird?

In addition to the above: the bad news is that you're now the official "onion chef" of the house. :-) Do not abuse this new authority.

No, sometimes people are immune to certain things. I can cut onions with no problems, too. My Aunt taught me this remedy, even though I don't need it. Run water near the onions while you cut them. The moisture should absorb the smell. It might not make anyone cry around you.

No you're not weird. I have heard and read that some people react to something in the onions when they are cut and some don't. So that means that you don't really react to whatever is in the onions that make people cry. I guess that some people are more sensitive to it.
Hope this helps! (^_^)

Good evening, Wabby.
I do not think you are weird, but rather phenomenal and unique. I think you are one of those strange individuals... It is strange for someone to be around onions without falling tears. However, I am yet to see an individual like you.
Anyway, Dad doesn't feel well after reading your response at this link http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApCjI7.TAbd24JhuZ.pa1Zvsy6IX?qid=20070707030455AAzG8go
Right now I am hurt and hoping my child will not keep this away from me if it happens to her eventually.
Wabby, I think your life has been through too much. You deserve a peace in your life from now on.
Please stay safe and learn from your horrific experiences.
Dad.

To cut the Onions without tearing
Wash them under tap water after peeling red scalp on it.

How can you be weird when you can do that? I used to be okay, I always thought it was my glasses. It's obviously not, because I can't do it anymore, I start crying at the end now. Good luck to you!

No you aren't weird, I very rarely have teary eyes. I think the secret is to keep them as cold as possible and use a very sharp knife.
