Tap water in eyes
I got some soap in one of my eyes so I immediately washed it out with tap water (I live in Australian) from the bathroom tap. I might be being paranoid and silly but I've now read 'online' tap water can cause harmful blinding diseases and you should never do it, mainly ''acanthamoeba keratitis ''. I'm stressed now about this, should I never put tap water in my eyes again. we have good plumbing?
