So... for Healthy Living, I have always been one to anticipate the worst and attempt to prepare. What has been on my mind lately is assembling an updated First Aid kit.
I have some thoughts on what to include but am open to suggestions please.
The obvious needs might be for cuts, burns and stings. I keep bandage material and a 100% aloe as well as an aloe plant. For serious compress use, I keep some sanitary napkins ~ just cheap and unscented.
Living in the woods, there is the potential for exposure to poison ivy or oak and I have had success with Caladryl ~ a calamine, benadryl solution. I also keep a benadryl tablet.
Living with pets and/or in a humid climate, there is a possibilty of ringworm or fungus ~ so I need an antifungal preparation.
I like iodine and have betadine for antiseptics. For slivers, I keep a drawing salve ~ old time and nasty smelling black but it works. Obviously a quality tweezers here too.
What do you have in yours or what potential needs would you forsee?
Updated First Aid kit just in case... Help me out please!
