Best Answer

Because they are caused by bacteria. So when you rub or touch it, you now have the bacteria on your finger. If you don't wash your hands, you can then pass that bacteria along, usually to your other eye, but it can also be passed by touch to another person's eye, mucus membranes, or open wounds.
