Wearing contacts can also inhibit the enzyme's ability to affect all the nerves of your eye. I switched from glasses to contacts a few months ago and it's been great! I can eat all the onions I want!

When I want to chop or cut onions for a meal then I put them in my fridge
for about one or two hours beforehand so that the amino juices don't
seep out and then I don't cry.

Also I wear glasses and they don't stop the onions making me cry if I have to help others

This is not a scientific practice but just from many years of cooking for
myself.

Rosalind Franklin was my first cousin and one my life's main regrets is that I never met this brilliant and beautiful lady.
She discovered the Single DNA Helix in 1953, then it was taken by Wilkins without her knowledge or agreeement.
