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.

If you think you have pink eye you should make an appointment with your eye doctor immediately to get medication to relieve your symptoms and prevent others from contracting the infection as well.
