Right..and something worth doing. [prevent spread, that is]
That's not to say that some microbes can't be 'caught' by inhalation or swallowing. There is stomach virus ..food poisoning and anthrax etc... and that various microbes aren't flushed from the eyes before they can 'hatch out'

Wear goggles or spray the eyes now and then with CS?

Previously, several people on this list had said that studies indicated that colds and flu (I believe) were only able to be transmitted through the eyes; that inoculation with the virus in the nose or mouth did not cause a subject to come down with the disease.

If this is the case, what does that say about the efficacy of face masks to prevent getting the disease. It would only keep the sick one from spreading it. Perhaps everyone else should be wearing goggles!!!
