It seemed to have worked for me a couple of times. Felt a boil forming under my skin and after a few nights of applying neosporin to my nasal cavity it went down.

I can tell you without a doubt that neosporin will not kill staph. If you don't already have staph colonization inside your nose then rubbing neosporin nightly in your nose would probably do a decent job of preventing its growth but it's not killing any existing staph. Mupirocin would kill it but that is Rx only.

Maybe it wasn't staph. Or maybe your body already has great resistance to it and neosporin may be effective against that particular strand.

Does anyone else do this sometimes?
One of my kids got a skin infection and after two short courses of antibiotics didn't entirely knock it out, his doc prescribed bleach baths twice a week and the infection was gone after about three weeks. It's old school but it works regardless of antibiotic resistance.

My doctor recommended epson salts bath and Mupirocin nasal swabs for recurrent staph infections. My mild bout lasted 2 years and then disappeared.

10 years ago I had issues with recurring staph infections. One of the things the doctors recommended was laying in a bathtub of hot water with about 1/4 cup of bleach mixed in. For good measure I usually add a little more than 1/4.
Thanks for the idea. I might start taking them. That's about the same concentration I use to sanitize my homebrew buckets. Like a swimming pool. It's not like being shot in the eyes by a jihadist with 15% hypochlorite in a Super Soaker.

Yep, a heck of a cure for poison ivy/oak. As someone mentioned, it’s so diluted it’s close to a swimming pool. Obviously a swimming pool will work too.

I take like 20 showers to 1 bath but I add bleach and soak for a while when I do sit in the tub and i always have. Aint ever had staff or toe rot or any thing. Not saying das why just saying.

As a kid I use to occasionally come down with athlete's foot fungus and my grandma would make me soak my feet in hot water with bleach in it to help kill the bacteria. It did work from what I remember.

Not if you go to Belize. Can walk into any pharmacy and get it for less than $20 a tube.

Does your dick burn after swimming in a swimming pool?

Used to do them a good bit when I was younger...seemed to help out with both poison ivy and also with redbugs.
