What are the neosporin toxic/poison symptoms if ingested?

Would any symptoms appear? Like vomiting, stomach pain, etc?

Update:

I don't mean on purpose but like when your eating and you have Neosporin on your finger and a tiny bit comes in contact with your food and you eat. Will you be safe right because I did some research and found out that Neosporin is nontoxic/nonpoisonous if accidentally ingested in a tiny amount with your food. Also if this does occur it will NOT harm you at all. But would any symptoms appear if it did happen like vomiting, stomach pain, etc due to accidentally ingesting Neosporin?

    If you were to just google your question, you would find your answers. I would have to do the research for you in order to answer your question. & you are just as capable as I am to use google.

    I went a head & googled your question just incase you don't know about google.

    This is also something you would ask of a Vet, here you are questioning strangers, children & trolls. You wouldn't know if you got a right answer or not. Talk to your Vet, poison control. You Vet should be open by now.

    Antibiotics are commonly used in veterinary medicine to treat bacterial infections in dogs and cats. When antibiotics are ingested in toxic amounts, it can result in mild to severe signs ranging from gastrointestinal signs (e.g., drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, inappetance, discolored teeth), metabolic signs (e.g., skin lesions, liver failure, kidney failure, etc.) to central nervous system signs (e.g., tremors, seizures, death). One type of “antibiotic” called isoniazid is used for the treatment of tuberculosis in human medicine, and can be deadly when dogs and cats ingest them (resulting in severe tremors, seizures, and death). As there are hundreds of different types of antibiotics, always check with your veterinarian or Pet Poison Helpline if your dog or cat accidentally ingested antibiotics.

    Poison type: medications

    Alternate names: neosporin, triple antibiotic, bacitracin, neomycin, polymyxin, topical, enrofloxacin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, Clavamox, Baytril, Keflex, cephalosporins, isoniazid
