I'm bettin antibiotic ointment would also be bad if you applied it to something which turned out to be a viral infection...tho not sure how common those are in topical wounds.

Regardless of price, I don't think I'd use it as a lube. I would be concerned about killing off the good bacteria and throwing things out of balance...just like happens with oral antibiotics.

Mmmmm...warm olive oil is my favorite too. Can't even open a bottle anymore without getting all warm and tingly from that deliciously rich aroma.
