When you have it, you don't want to rub your eye. You don't want to keep rubbing your eye, especially. It'll just make it worse.

If you have pinkeye, don't touch your eyes. Just don't. Just avoid it altogether, um, because that's how it can spread. Um, so just, like, don't touch them. And it also helps prevent, like, it getting worse, too. So, don't touch your eyes. Don't touch them. Even if you want to rub them and they're scratchy and everything, just don't. Just don't do it.

My most helpful tip with pink eye is just remembering that it's extremely contagious most of the time, so you really want to, if you have it, to stay away from people, stay at home, because if you're, you know, going to school or going to work, there's a good chance people around you are going to get it, and also just remembering to, if people around you have pink eye, to wash your hands a lot, you know, don't rub your eyes, things like that, because that just increases the likelihood of you getting it, so be careful when people have pink eye to stay away from them, and if you have it, to do everything you can to get rid of it before you, you know, are out doing stuff with other people.
