A member asked:
Can a healthly person get pink eye by taking contact with his own sneeze? for example, sneeze in his hand and rub his eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely but: the bacteria normally present in the mouth may cause infection in the eyes from this type of transmission. However transient pink eyes are more likely caused by a viral infection.
