Until tonight I was applying the neosporin with my finger, but bought the applicators today. Even though I had success with a thicker double application with my finger I thought that it would be more "clinical" to buy the applicators.

Well there was an extra step that I skipped tonight while using the applicator (one that I was doing before I added the Neosporin for odor control). I guess that I was trying to simplify this and say it was all the neosporin helping. Well, was spraying the neosporin on my finger with liquid crystal minerals that I bought from a wholefood store. I skipped that tonight. Well, this was an important step I found out.

The extra Neosporin in combination with the scraping of the plastic applicator and spreading it around caused some mild irritation. I thought, oh no, I was warned about this when I did research (rash/irritation). I was afraid that I would have to stop. Well then it hit me. This hasn't bothered me one bit for the past five days and all of a sudden it burns. I sprayed my finger a few times with the crystal minerals and mixed it around in there, and in five minutes I was fine.

So it's not just the Neosporin that's important. It's the combination of the two products that are working for me.

I know you're thinking...who is this crazy chick willing to wipe out all of her good bacteria and will end up with a chronic condition...blah blah blah...

WELL...I plan to follow up with a pro-biotic regime when I'm done. So, don't worry your pretty little head. I'm also paying close attention to my hearing levels and pain in my kidney area. I read somewhere that this can happen with internal neosporin use, but primarily with injections which is just a flat out no no. Well, I also did research about taking the ingredients orally that are in neosporin, and it can be done. The only thing that can't be done is injection with some of them.

The way I see it, is if you can use Neosporin on weeping bloody wounds, a mucous membrane isn't that different even though it does absorb quickly. I don't believe the levels that reach the bloodstream will be that different from a bad wound. Also, all of the active ingredients except for Bacitracin were approved in 2008 for a bladder irrigation solution. After further Bacitracin research I put my mind to rest.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention that I might hurt myself, but after six hours of research I feel confident and I've had no odor for two days now. I haven't had two consecutive days of no odor for four years. I feel like a new person.

YAY ME!
