Question on water quality - help please

Hey, I'm staying for a couple days in a hotel and washed my eyes with tap water. I immediately washed them again with water from a water bottle yet am still wondering what should I do next?

Advice greatly appreciated, thanks!

Oh no! Get some isopropyl alcohol, 90% or higher, and pour it all over your face, making sure it gets in your eye balls. Then you will need some acupuncture and drink some Chinese medicine for at least 6 weeks.

I think using bleach to clean them would be better, but everyone has preference to its own, your advice is good as well.

I've been here just over two weeks with my 11 month old son. I've been bathing him every day with local water. If his Canadian baby skin can handle it I think you should be okay.

Don't worry about it. You'll be fine. Just try not to drink it without boiling it first.
