Every time Red/pink eye or Conjunctivitis starts spreading , specially in summer days, people gets panic and starts reacting like avoid eye contact, sharing random home remedies suggestions or some assumes it is just a normal eye infections. But in reality , it is highly contagious and mainly spreads through poor hygiene habits than through simply " looking at someone".

Yeah, It is very uncomfortable when doing daily activities. But you know WHAT MAKES IT WORSE ? that how casually people self treat it and ignore the symptoms until it spreads to other.

Simple hygiene habits can effectively control the spreading. And instead of believing on myths , consulting a doctor would be a wise choice.

What do you think? In today’s informative world , who we are trusting more , Myths or Medical awareness?

it’s so true, people are getting influence by YouTube videos and following the remedies instead of going to hospital this leads to the even worse infection.

I definitely trust medical knowledge and don’t give in to myths , conjunctivitis usually occurs in summers, and proper health education has to be delivered to general public regarding this condition, simple measures can relieve symptoms and also spread of infection

To be very honest in today’s world, it has become hard to differentiate between a myth and fact because of the way a certain information is being presented via internet and social media. It is especially difficult for people from non medical background to undertsand .
