...Mrs Worthington.

Seriously though, it is not a good idea. I have been putting drops in my eyes for conjunctivitis for about a week. Monday morning, half asleep, picked up a very similar phial that contained dilute salicylic acid and put that in my eye instead!

Yesterday the hospital confirmed that there had been no long term damage so I was very lucky, but also very aware of how it could have ended.

Keep safe out there and, whatever you are doing, stay vigilant!
