But obviously don't understand that it's of no use against virurses. LisaL Mar 2020 #14

MRSA is bacterial, not viral. n/t sl8 Mar 2020 #41

OH!! Then why does everyone call it the MRSA virus? Lulu KC Mar 2020 #43

Why? jberryhill Mar 2020 #3

No thanks. Neosporin is much easier. Ninga Mar 2020 #4

And likely just as useless if you put it up your nose. LisaL Mar 2020 #8

This is a flying trick to not catch a cold on a vacation. Dry air makes nasal passages succeptable. TheBlackAdder Mar 2020 #15

Why do you need neosporin? If you concern your nose is dry, you might as well use Vaseline. LisaL Mar 2020 #19

Any oil/gel product, ie, vaseline. It doesn't prevent, but it helps to prevent direct membrane entry TheBlackAdder Mar 2020 #30

Or use chapstick. The logic in using an antibiotic salve (Neosporin) in the nose to block droplets SWBTATTReg Mar 2020 #32

Antibiotics do not treat viruses jpak Mar 2020 #16

Maybe so things don't feel dry and crusty making a propensity to touch your nose/nasal cavities ? magicarpet Mar 2020 #18

Use Vaseline if your nose is dry. Even then you have to be careful. LisaL Mar 2020 #20
