The arrival of another year means a return to school for Union City children. Along with a heavy load of books and homework, there are also increased risks for illnesses, such as pink eye. Also known as conjunctivitis, this swelling of the thin layer of tissue covering the inside of the eyelid is an itchy, painful experience. The common name of pink eye comes from the bright pink color that the eye whites can take on due to the swelling. Up to three million cases of pink eye hit every year in the United States. Children and those who work with kids are more likely to get the illness which can lead to at least a few days out of school. More severe cases may even result in weeks of lost school time.
