Rain water from roof got in my eye.

[Walking Circles]

I was outside my house on the phone and it was raining. I stood under the edge of my carport and a drop of water from the roof rolled in to my eye. I'm worried that some chemical from the roof or something could have gotten in my eye. I washed it out in the sink for a few minutes so perhaps that helped. I'm particularly worried that perhaps there could be lead in one of the roofing nails or sealants or the like that could have transferred to my eye.

Just how far out in left field am I on this one?

Left field? You're way past that, IMO. I can't count how many times I've stood under a "waterfall" from a roof/gutter, just because. You're absolutely fine.

im not sure about this but what i have read rain water is only contaminated with chemicals and water pollutants when it hits the ground. it is pure till it hits the ground so you should be fine.

Heck some people drink rain water. Not something to worry about at all.

Our eyes have a natural lubricate, so when something gets in, our eyes water and that cleanses any impurities.
