A member asked:
Is pink eye caused by fecal matter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
rare: Most pink eyes are spread from others with pink eye and include bacterial and viral origin. I can imagine that fecal matter might cause an infection but have difficulty imagining how it got into the eye. I do not recommend trying this.
