Worried. Do I have salt in my eye!?!
Question: Worried. Do I have salt in my eye!?
Okay, yesterday I was eating munchos (a brand of salty chips) and I rubbed my eye. My eye started burning really bad, and I tried to wash the piece of salt out. My mom said the salt only touched it and fell out cuz i could open my eye.. she said if it stayed i wouldn't be able to open it? well a day has gone by and my eye still hurts bad... i dont know if its the salt or not. when i look up and blink really fast, it feels like something is stuck up there and my eye is still sore.. i don't know.. my aunt said the salt isnt in there and to stop being stupid.. -.- i am confused about if its the salt or if i accidently scractched my eyeball? i thought it would be better by today but i guess its not.. what do you think?? on and when i wash my eye (flush it out) it burns.. :( i've been rubbing my eye which also could of scratched it? so what do you think? thanks! (:

You got a little salt and whatever other spices on your hands in your eye, when you rubbed it. Not really a huge deal, just rinse your eye out when things like this happen, and either use saline, an eye wash or artificial tears type eye drop to help sooth the eye until your natural tears can flush them out.
Some people are going to be more sensitive to irritation caused by salt and spices. And yes you may have also scratched your eye rubbing it with the finger that had spices on it.
