To keep from crying you can take a whole piece of bread and hold it in your mouth. You'll look a little goofy with a piece of bread hanging out of your mouth, but it works!!

If the knife is dull, the flesh is crushed rather than sliced cleanly through and produces more fumes. @connie Make sure you chop onions with a very sharp knife.
