In reply to the discussion: Can nasal Neosporin fight COVID? Surprising new research suggests it works [View all]Lemon Lyman

I'm always wondering about all the things like this you hear about, then there's very little follow-up saying aye or nay.
I remember years ago when Covid was raging (spring 2020 or 2021) that they were seeing good results in patients who were already taking Famotidine (Pepcid). I think they gave it numnuts when he went to the hospital with Covid. I'd never seen follow-up results. I just looked at the Wiki and it sounds like they found out it doesn't help with Covid.
Same goes for detection and such. There'd be an article about a team at MIT coming up with an oral or nasal at-home test (a really easy version). Then, nothing. Maybe there wasn't enough a market for it or something.

I am also allergic to neosporin ointment. However, if it helps others, I'm all for it.
