A member asked:
I accidentally touched my lip after finger was in ear. i forgot that i had used neomycin ear drops a few hours earlier. my lip tasted really bitter. i am concerned i got poisoned over this exposure?

No worries about poisoning. Neomycin is an antibiotic and the miniscule amount that may have been introduced into your lip or mouth should not result in any issues.
