How do kids get Pink Eye?
My daughter was sent home from daycare today because they think she has Pink Eye. She has an appointment today at 1pm, but I am wondering where this came from. Tuesday night we went swimming at the community college pool, and then when I noticed it. it looked worse yesterday. Today she only had it in the corner of her right eye, with some crusty stuff. My husband, mother, and i thought it looked fine enough to go to school, but I was wrong (I feel dumb about sending her because I am a future nurse). Could she have caught pink eye from the pool, or is it more likely she caught from the daycare center?

Not likely she got it from the pool, the chlorine would more than likely kill any of the bacteria that causes it. Its not likely an allergic reaction causing it becasue its one eye. Probably something she picked up in the daycare, kids like to share that kind of stuff even if they wont share their toys...
It is contageous and kids dont wash their hands like most adults do

Daycare. Groups of children are just pools of germs and disease. The pool chemicals should keep things like pinkeye dead.

it's probably not "pink eye".
seriously. pink eye gets WAY, WAY over-diagnosed. especially by the "school".
