Yes Definatly!!! Get a prescription from the dr. if you have it and use it the full time... if anyone else has it wash everything like faucets doorknobs etc. with lysol or something.. make sure you wash your hands often and try not to touch your eyes. if your eyes matte up at night then use a warm cloth to remove the gunk... good luck...

Yes, you sure can. If you come in contact with someone who has it, then you have a very good chance of getting it too. It is very contagious. Good luck.
