When we cut into an onion, we release a chain reaction. So the onion defends itself with chemical weaponry. This should scare off the attacker. Ideally it is meant to deter hungry rodents, yet humans belong to its natural enemies. Our Chemical Reporter explains why eyes begin to burn when chopping onions. In entertaining weekly episodes our Chemical Reporter answers questions on Chemistry in our everyday life.
