I think this has come up in the past on DU...studies or suggestions about this maybe working for Covid.

When I went to an immunologist for allergy testing. They did the thing where they prick your back with different allergens (20 maybe?). I remember my response to grass and animal dander were both off the charts. The nurse said one of them (forget which) was the worst response she'd ever seen.

The Dr. wanted me to get rid of our cat. I'm like, "Yeah. Not happening dumbass." But due to allergies I had sore(s) in my nose. He said put Neosporin up there to heal it. I don't like doing it b/c you breath it/swallow it and it tastes like crap. Really helps with sores though, as it's designed to do.
