A member asked:
Can someone be immune to pink eye? and if so why and how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is no immunity: from pink eye. One interesting fact is that pink eye is usually self limiting, resolving with out treatment in about two weeks. Good hygeine will have less of a chance of getting pink eye.
