But how can anybody else catch it? Can be transmitted through air droplets, or by door handles, toilet bowls, pets, and then rubbed into your eyes? Or from supermarket fruit, carrier in an food outlet? (Are there are any special health rules?)
Bacterial conjunctivitis is an infection caused by bacteria such as staphylococci, streptococci or haemophilus. These organisms may come from the patient's own skin or upper respiratory tract or they may be caught from another person with conjunctivitis.
You as a medical detective. Doctors just treat the illness. Pillow spread. By young children? Midges? What is the incubation period?
