I have found out / discovered that when I cut the skin after removing the ends, and start to peel off the outer layer exposing the flimsy skin membrane then the onion fumes are released from the onion causing the eyes being affected.
After the skin is removed and handling just the bare onion, no more fumes. But getting to that point people looking at me would say I was hurting from being hit with a hammer, no dry eyes.

I still do the same thing and cry.
