Hi is it possible to give yourself pinkeye? my bf farted numerous times in his hands while naked and woke up with pink eye.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Separate issues: Classic ";pink eye" is a viral infection. It is spread by contact and not through the GI tract. Your BF contacted it several days before as the incubation time is 3 to 5 days before the eyes get pink.
