Question: If tears are salty, then why don't they hurt your eyes!?
When you taste tears, they're salty!. Salt water will burn your eyes!. But why not tears!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The answer has to do with relativity!. Tears are the same salinity (salt content) as the fluid in and covering your eyes, therefor they are accustomed to it!. When fluids enter your body that are either a greater salinity or lesser salinity than your body's natural salinity, then damage can potentilly occur!.

When, for example, you are given an IV to hydrate you, it is not pure water, but a saline solution!. The solution is at the same salinity as your own body!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

because when we secreat tears, the salty watery stuff comes out of mini faucets on the sides of our eye sockets!. then tiny people who live under our eyelids come out with jumbo buckets to fill it with tears!. they pass it around and throw it on your cheeks so your eyes wont hurt!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, it isn't like sea-salt, it is a bodily fluid, so you're used to the tears because they are produced by your body!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
