Neosporin is a drug that provokes considerable allergic response and is
cross reactive to some of the big antibiotics that need to be held in
reserve to fight drug resistant strains of super-staphs and streps.  Tom
Hale told me personally to avoid it, and suggested Polysporin instead.  This
information is corraborated in an article (I think you can read it on line)
in US Pharmacist in their :Ask Your Dermatologist column.

The ref. citation is:  W Pray, Dermatitis Causes are diverse.  US Pharm
2000; 25:(8):14-24.
