Udupi: Variations in weather conditions have caused a rise in cases of conjunctivitis, also referred as “pink eye” in the Udupi district.
Conjunctivitis is an extremely contagious eye inflammation commonly caused by a bacterial or viral infection or an allergic reaction. Although the infection does not spread through air, people who suffer from the condition may rub their eye and touch others causing the virus to spread.
