I am one of those folks strongly and erratically affected by onions. It can go from mildly annoying to pain and almost no vision without warning. This makes it likely that I'm going to have trouble if I'm chopping a lot of onions, so I make sure I know what my exit strategy is. This is particularly useful in a crowded pre-group-dinner kitchen. I try to know both where I can safely put the knife and how I can safely get to clear air without encountering other people's knives / ovens / etc, all without much sight or attention.
I also do my best to keep strict face-hand discipline. If my cheek or eyebrow itches in a way that can't be scratched on my shoulder, it needs to wait until my hands have been washed.
