> Once, I forgot to wash my hands before putting my contacts in, and my fingers had a little bit of Elmer's Glue on them. Boy did that sting. My eye was watering and very red, but it went away in a few minutes. I have never forgotten to wash my hands before putting things in my eye since.

That reminds me. I did something similar once. I had a sore back and had put some Icy Hot on it that morning. I had washed my hands, but not thoroughly enough, because I still had some under my fingernail and it got into my eye. Strangely enough, it didn't hurt, although I did freak out for a bit at first. It felt just like Icy Hot feels on one's skin, only in my eye. Weird. I'm guessing it was because the amount was so small, it wasn't enough to do any real damage.
