I was cleaning a valve cover and stupid me wasn’t wearing any eye protection, ended up spraying right back at my eye with a little splash. My eye doesn’t hurt, but my contact was completely dried up, which may be because my contact took the impact. Also, is it a bad thing that no less than 2 second…
