Her grandson had it. They convinced him to play pirate and strapped a slice of a red potato over the eye in question. He went to sleep with the edible eye patch. The next morning they pealed it off of him and the pink eye was gone. Using red potatoes is what her grandmother had done before her. The trick was to make it fun for a child. The starch does make it stick to your eye lid so gentle pealing off is required.
Cows get pink eye in the Spring and in the early chill of autumn. Putting cod liver oil directly into the eye is helpful.
The eyes, in Chinese medicine, are the windows to the liver. If you develop pink eye it can be taken as a heads up that your liver energy may be stagnant. Herbs such as milk thistle and dandelion in your diet are helpful.
