A member asked:
Can i cook if i have pink eye?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes you may cook: Pink eye is usually caused by a virus, which can be spread to others with close contact. Postpone the dinner party if you can, but if you have to cook for others, make sure to use strict hand washing.

Yes: You will need to wash your hands and avoid touching your eye during food preparation. Otherwise, it should not cause any issues.
