"Eye" as in "icky"

The takeaways from this story are:

1. There was such a thing as eye chlamydia in Roman times

and

2. Such a thing still exists, and in areas that it's safe to say had their share of troubles already

Yikes.

Somehow I'd prefer to think they were just used as makeup tools but it seems likely this archeologist may be right. Eww..

Seems likely, but there is still a lot of guesswork involved. Another reason for archeologists to wear gloves, I guess.
