I have been noticing all day that my left eye has been irritated every time I drove in the sun. Was brushing my teeth just now and notcied a blue spec in my left eye. I tried to get it off with water and my finger, but it doesn't seem to want to come off although I can feel it with my finger. Almost looks like a spec of paint. Any suggestions on how to get it out? It is annoying as hell? Could this hurt my eye? Should I go see a doc?

See a doctor and stop messing with your eye unless you want to increase your chances of permanent damage.

Oh wow, that was disgusting...


anyways, it could be paint, it could be metal filings. Do you do metal work? Those get nasty if they get in there. See a doctor. Eyes don't heal well, you don't want to damage them.

fill a cup with water, then blink your eye in the water. whatever dust is causing the irration will come out in the cup.

A shotgun will work, it will get anything out of your entire skull, i would go for 10 gauge, but 12 can be ok if you have to...

After seeing many of your posts today, it's blatantly obvious that you need major psychological help. Stop posting on a computer message board full of kids and go see a psychologist.
