Tell you, the main way of transmission of pink eye is hands. You may not be convinced, why is pink eye contagious, and it spreads quickly? It is generally said that you should not look at the eyes of people who suffer from pink eye, but in fact it is not, because after suffering from pink eye, the eyes are not very comfortable, and they will get used to picking and rubbing with their hands, and then touching things around without washing their hands, while people who are not sick will be infected as long as their hands touch the things that the sick person has touched, and then touch their eyes with their hands when they are fine. >>>More
