Question:
Can you get pink eye from touching your eye after touching your anus?
Answer:
You should not directly touch your mouth or anus and then directly touch your eye. Both the mouth and anus carry a lot of bacteria. These bacteria can cause bacterial conjunctivitis, which, in rare cases, can cause permanent vision loss. Always wash your hands vigorously with anti-bacterial soap if such an encounter happens prior to touching your eye.
