I went for a routine check up at the opticians today and part of it was to put fluorescein dye in my eye to check for scratches. The thing about this dye is that it is bright yellow, completely safe to use on the eye but it is bright as hell.

After my appointment I headed to the shop to buy some clothes for the gym as I’d forgotten to pack a top to wear. I head to the counter and the woman looks at me a bit strangely whilst I’m buying the clothes but I don’t think much of it and I head to the gym straight after. I walk in with my head held high, making eye contact with several people who I walk past and then head into the changing room.

I pull out my phone and look at the camera to see BRIGHT YELLOW liquid coming out of my nose. The liquid dye had drained out of my eyes through my nose. I immediately cringe and remember the numerous people that have seen my face in the last 20 minutes and the woman at the counter who looked at me strangely.

Now all I can think of is how it looked like mucus and since it was neon yellow, radioactive mucus at that… I’m definitely going to remember this for many nights to come when I can’t sleep 😭

TL;DR: I didn’t realise the yellow dye the optician used would drain out of my nose and many people saw me in public and at the gym with it on my face.
