When I was a kid I was told that you could get Pink eye from someone farting in your face and I used to believe it.
But now that I'm an adult I found out that getting pink eye from someone farting in your face or farting on your pillow is just an urban myth that has no truth at all to it.
Pink eye is caused by a bacterial infection which usually spreads through hand to eye contact. If you touch someone else and then touch your eye then your eye could infected with pink eye.
