I think this is one of those places where people are trying to get the letter of the rules to tell them how the universe works when the *purpose* of those rules is exactly the reverse - to model something real in the game system.
You can't close your eyes and mouth such that outside liquids don't get in them?

If you open your eyes without washing it off first, sure, but that's why you don't do that...
