Allergy to components of triple antibx ointment is an issue if you are spreading it on a hundred strangers daily, as er's do: so most of them use bacitracin. If you are using tao on members of your inner circle who have used it without reaction before, the allergy profile is less meaningful. I prefer to think of such ointments as multipurpose assets that do all things petrolatum/Vaseline does-tinder, skin care, hair care, ear wax removal, small machine lubrication, waterproofing leather, sandwich spread-as well as killing microbes.
