    Hi,

    I was cutting a cauliflower off and a little flick of water went in my eye. There's caterpillar poop everywhere on the cauliflowers I constantly wash off, but I'm worried about some getting into my eye.

    Does anyone know if it's dangerous?

    Narr doubt it.
    Worse would be a bit of conjunctivitis in a couple of days.
    The salty water in your eyes sort out most of the bacteria that gets in your eyes.

      Aways best to have some form of eye wash in the cabinet ready to use.

      Plenty of eye drop type bottles in the supermarkets like Optrex but for a heavier eye wash something like one of these bottles using a sterile saline solution and an eye bath for minor problems, about £2.

      Might sound OTT, but its only when you have an eye problem that your fully realise how precious they are !
