When is pink eye contagous and when would symptoms show up for someone who was exposed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
pink eye contagious: Again, pink eye is a viral infection of the outer surface of the eye which gets red and watery. Yes it is contagious, more so in the early stages (3-days), when the eyes are watery. If the contagion is successful, this person will show the signs in 2 to 3 days. I insist, a correct diagnosis is essential.
