Post covid, has anyone noticed a dramatic decrease in eye irritation from cutting onions?

I wish. I was that many years old when I learned that smell had nothing to do with onion eye reaction. I still had no sense of smell at all the first time I cooked after covid, and the onions did their thing just the same.

I can confirm that this has not happened to me. Last night's stroganoff did a number on them.

I have learned that I cannot rub my eyes after cutting onions, just like I cannot eat hot wings and then go to the restroom without washing my hands. (Don't ask me how I know.)

Onions almost never bother me. I keep them in the refrigerator and so when I slice onions, it's not much different than slicing carrots or potatoes or squash.

On the rare time when I'm slicing an onion that wasn't just taken out of the refrigerator, it always catches me by surprise.
