Pink Eye: Michelle's Answer

by Michelle

January 2007

Pink eye is bacterial. Bacteria can be killed with heat.

I make a hot compress with just water (hot as one can take without burning oneself) using a folded paper towel (so I can throw it away and not re-contaminate anyone). Place it on the contaminated eye and wipe from the center to the outside. DO NOT REWIPE using the same part of the towel. I fold it in half again and wipe, using the same inside to outside motion. Use a different towel if both eyes are affected. Doing this 2-3 times every couple of hours should be sufficient.

I wanted to let you know that I was so pleased about the prompt correction of my recent order. I ordered SuperKids berry flavored and accidentally received Berry Well. I called to let you know about it and received a message on my answering machine telling me to go ahead and use the Berry Well and that you would get my Superkids right out to me, and you did! Customer service means so much these days and I will definitely order from you again!
