I cycled down to the girlfriends place in Essex yesterday. After 20 minutes of being in the rain, my eyes became really painful (like sun cream in your eyes). At first I thought it was sweat from my head dripping into my eyes but it kept on getting worse and one point I could barely see.
Once I had finished the ride, I looked in the mirror and my eyes had really swollen up. I normally suffer from hayfever, but this was worse. I noticed there was some soapy scum on the road for a lot of the ride. Could this be something from the fields? Could I have got fertiliser or pesticide in my eyes from the road?
