If mint gum doesn’t work. Cut under cold water.

This works like chilling your onions and using a fan — cold running water both lowers the temperature and reduces the amount of LF reaching your eyes. Logistically, it might be awkward, though.

Answer:

Use mint chewing gum

Step-by-step explanation:

When chewing gum, you diffuse the odors that make you cry and you breathe through your mouth, so the chemicals don't make it to your nasal cavity. By chewing gum, you are stopping any irritants from going up your nose, so the glands don't get frustrated. So chew away.
