A member asked:
Whats the worst that can happen if someone accidentally spits in your eye? it happened to me last week and ive been worried about it since?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually nothing. Maybe small risk of a cold or influenza. Absence of symptoms since then is evidence you didn't catch anything. Stop worrying.
