What in the water could leave a pink ring around my tub and toilet?

If you live in an older neighborhood it could be clay piping or copper piping can sometimes do the same thing. It's what is in the earth around the piping that can cause this problem. Hard water can cause green inside toilets or in sinks and bath tubs. The pink stuff is actually produced by naturally occurring airborne bacteria called [i]Serratia marcescens[/i]. Presence of the pink bacteria does not have anything to do with the water quality coming out of the faucet distributed by the water system. These bacteria are very common but cannot be seen until after they grow and multiply. Left undisturbed in areas of high humidity at room temperature, the bacteria multiply producing a pinkish-red pigment, or sometimes a dark gray color, on surfaces that are regularly moist.

Can humans get pink eye from a dog licking its butt then your eye?

This would depend on the cause. If both the dog and human are allergic to a particular pollen or mold and were both exposed, they could both develop "pink eye" even though one did not give it to the other. If the dog has bacterial pink eye, it is possible for the bacteria to be transferred to a human and cause pink eye in that person as well. However, if the cause is viral, traumatic, foreign body or cancer, humans would not be at risk for zoonotic infection from the dog.
