Back to the tears issue with a question for Chris. Since tears have antibiotic in them, can you ever culture bacteria or viruses in tears? And when you get conjunctivitis, is that bacterial or viral? And if so, then why don't your tears cure the problem? Do the lacrimal glands ever get infections such that the tears themselves actually become contaminated?
