3. Contact with Someone With Conjunctivitis
If you are suffering from conjunctivitis, it is important to avoid allowing others to touch objects that you use, particularly those that have touched your eyes. Dispose of kleenexes in a bag that cannot reach other people.
The viruses and bacteria that cause this ailment are not airborne, so they cannot be spread through coughs, but they can spread readily through touching someone with the illness or rubbing a surface touched by them.
To avoid catching this illness, avoid contact with people who have pinkeye.
It is important to keep kids home from school if you suspect that they may have conjunctivitis to avoid other children from catching it.
