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.
Tinder: check
Skin care: check
Hair care: huh? I don't put gel in my hair, is that what you mean?
Ear wax removal: here you have me flummoxed, please explain
Small machine lubrication: check
Waterproofing leather: check
Sandwich spread: yuck
With regard to the labeled function, I've never knowingly met someone who was allergic to antibiotic ointment. Before ETS I would never have thought it could be an issue. How common is it?
