A popular YouTube beauty guru has come under fire from her viewers after she revealed that she uses her nursing friend's breast milk as a homeopathic remedy for combating eye infections . Jackie Aina, who runs the YouTube channel Makeup Game On Point, shared her bizarre trick for treating eye infections, including pink eye, in a recent video about her favorite beauty hacks - but not all of her 400,000 followers approved of her suggestion that people should put someone else's bodily fluid in their eyes. 'That hack can actually be very dangerous,' one of the video's 450 commenters wrote. 'Breast milk is a bodily fluid that can transmit many infections/diseases such as HIV, hepatitis, CMV, some Herpes viruses and more.' Strange cure: Beauty vlogger Jackie Aina from Makeup Game On Point revealed that she used her friend's breast milk to treat a recent eye infection . Beauty hack: Jackie can be seen demonstrating how she used a cotton swab to put three or four drops of breast milk in her eye per day until the infection was gone . The critic continued: 'Regardless of how close a friendship between you and a friend, you can never be fully aware of all the details of their medical history, so I would strongly advise against it.' In response, Jackie noted that she never suggested people should take breast milk from strangers. 'This was not at all some random chick I went to high school with,' she explained. 'The precautions are something everyone should take heed to but I definitely know better.' She continued: 'I care about my subscribers way too much to just put irresponsible information out there like that, however, if someone does not utilize good judgment on things like this it is not at the responsibility of the YouTuber.' But her explanation failed to convince her critics, with a second person adding: 'There has GOT TO be another option than breast milk... like come on.' 'Ummm of course there is another option than breast milk,' Jackie replied. 'But it works and is efficient.' And while her beauty trick may not have gone down well with all of her viewers, some of Jackie's fans were happy to defend her and her advice. Odd request: Jackie said she asked she asked her nursing friend for a small amount of her breast milk after she researched natural remedies on the internet . 'Come on people. Just stop with the "breast milk is a bodily fluid". I'm pretty sure most of us know that. These are just some tips that [Jackie] was trying to share with us from her experience,' one woman wrote. She added: 'You don't HAVE to do any of them. If you don't agree, then don't try any of them. Simple.' In the video, Jackie noted that it was an 'odd' form of treatment that she discovered when she found herself in a desperate situation. 'I am just a huge believer,' she said. 'The body is supposed to heal itself in some ways - in a lot of ways actually.' She continued: 'I will always go for a natural method before anything [else] when it comes to stuff like that.' Jackie came across the remedy when she started to develop an eye infection just days before she was supposed to travel. Many uses: A mother can be seen breast feeding her baby. In addition to supposedly treating eye ear infections, it has been claimed that breast milk is a natural solution for skin conditions such as acne .

Hook it up,' she said of her conversation with the new mother. After her friend gave her a small amount of breast milk, Jackie used a clean cotton swab to apply it to her eye area three or four times daily.
