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.
