Pink eye problem-- will the whole family get it!?

Pink eye: Conjunctivitis or pink eye is a very contagious infection spread through contact. Here is where frequent hand-washing by the infected person will reduce transmission. However, the infected person should get treated right away; contagiousness will stop in 24 hours if the cause is bacterial. Viral pink eye remains contagious until the infection subsides.
