When we arrived in Papua, Indonesia 30 years ago there was a scourge of pink eye making its way through the communities. We heard the way people of the interior treated it was by having a nursing mother squirt some milk into the infected eyes every few hours. It could be expelled and saved for treatment, but “fresher was better.”
Correct! We used the same treatment in Jakarta for my grandson’s conjunctivitis. A young lady with an infant across the road was happy to donate.
It worked much better that the treatment advised by folk in Balikpapan back in the eighties i.e., a squirt of lemon juice in the eye.
