Conjunctivitis (pink-eye) is insanely contagious. If you have contracted a pink-eye infection, you should avoid contact with other people, avoid touching the infected area, and wash your hands and your eye(s) frequently.

Pink eye, or conjunctivitis, can be caused in many ways depending on the type of pink eye you've got. Both Viral and bacterial conjunctivitis can be contracted from airborne sources and easily spread. Allergic conjunctivitis is just what it sounds like, an allergic reaction, and most often comes along with a stuffy, itchy or runny nose.
