Someone accidentally spit in my eye while he was talking. should i be worried?

Unlikely: i recommend washing your eye out thoroughly with water. if this person is healthy you should not have to worry about it. there is always the very very small chance of mucosal transmission of a disease process but typically this is very very rare. If you know this person and they are healthy you are likely fine.
