List
Edward,
" Now I have a question about goggle cabinets. We disinfect our
goggles
with 15 minutes of exposure
to UV light. But in
all honesty--is there
any
record of a student contracting conjunctivitis from goggles? It
seems the goggle cabinet is more of a "feel good"
measure.
I'm
surprised we aren't expected
to disinfect microscope eyepieces--seems
that would be a more likely fomite for
conjunctivitis.
Thoughts?"
I developed a nasty fungal infection on my forehead
from using a pair of goggles that weren't mine and hadn't been
disinfected. I keep
an extra set in my desk now, in case I misplace my regular
goggles.
