Good evening. I was not too happy in playing tennis this morning. After an hour or so in the game.Normally go up to the net and thank them. One person say do not shake hands.why I have conjunctivitis, This is a viral and contagious .What.your telling me now playing for an hour and touching the tennis balls etc.I was very upset about this. After the game went to wash my hands quickly.the other guys seems to shrug it off.I did not.Have enough problem and do not need this. Yes I was upset and not being too dramatic. This is a virus and is catchy.He should not have been playing tennis. Well it is over and still feel upset by there. Below is what this viral infection is.From online ___________________________________________________________________ Viral conjunctivitis. Caused by a virus, like the common cold. This type of pink eye is very contagious, but usually will clear up on its own within several days without medical treatment. Bacterial conjunctivitis. Caused by bacteria, this type of conjunctivitis can cause serious damage to the eye if left untreated. Allergic conjunctivitis. Caused by eye irritants such as pollen, dust and animal dander among susceptible individuals. Allergic conjunctivitis may be seasonal (pollen) or flare up year-round (dust; pet dander).

Wow that was very inconsiderate of him to not let you know before the end of the game. He never should have been playing in the first place. I would be upset too.

@marlina Viral conjunctivitis is one of the reason why the US immigration can refuse a tourist to enter the county. It is extremely contagious.

That was not a good thing that he did. He should have told you and asked if you wanted to go on playing. Its not the done thing even if it was not infectious he should have said. I get the odd allergy too as we are in the countryside and lots of industrial greenhouses here use all kind of sprays that hurt your eyes and nose.

@amadeo I should think that he would not be really as he would hardly be able to see properly with an eye like that.

Oh my goodness Alfredo, viral conjunctivitis is horrible and extremely contagious. I had it many years ago it took weeks to go away. You are right to be upset.

I would feel the same as you! Conjunctivitis is highly contagious and he should not have been out playing tennis. When I play tennis, I often use my hands to wipe off perspiration. That was extremely inconsiderate.

That is highly contagious and was very insensitive of that person to go out to play and then not even inform the other players. I question people who act like this. I hope that you don't get it.

@amadeo How sad is that. I wonder why he just did not play and tell everyone what he had and then you would not have had to go wash your hands. That is very stupid to tell you when you wanted to shake his hand after saying it is contagious and like you said he touched the tennis balls. Some people just do not think or do not care.

Oh, that's is not awesome. He should have told you about it. Now you need to clean yourself before the virus gets anywhere.

You are not wrong in being upset - he should have stayed home.
