Sty Rhymes with Eye

Some time Thursday I started developing a sty on my right eyelid. It sucks in a non-candy way. I asked for some advice on how to deal with it and was pointed to this website and this website. One of the sites describes the causes of sties in this manner:

The staphylococcal bacteria is the culprit. This bacteria will survive quite nicely within your nostrils and can easily spread to your eye with the rub of your hand.

So apparently I was picking my nose and then rubbing my eye. I'll keep in mind never to do that again.

Hot compresses here I come.

UPDATE: I'm supposed to keep the hot compresses on for 20 minutes at a time three to four times a day. That shouldn't interfere with my reading for today at all.
