Sometimes all of us all can overlook some very important necessities in our home and one, unfortunately, is a first-aid kit. Each and every household should have a basic kid of some type in case of an emergency. There are many benefits to having a well-stocked first-aid kit because we never know if or when it will be needed.
Sometimes we all can overlook some necessities in our home and one, unfortunately, is a first-aid kit. There are many benefits to having a well-stocked first-aid kit because we never know if or when it will be needed. Keeping a kit saves time when there is some type of emergency. I keep a first-aid kit in my car as well as my home and it has come in handy on several occasions!
You can purchase a first aid kit at a drugstore, at your local hardware store, online at a popular website such as the Red Cross, or you can easily make one of your own. Should you chose to create one yourself, be certain to select a container which is durable, easy to carry and roomy. I happen to prefer a plastic container normally used for storing art supplies, and you can find those and all types most anywhere you shop regularly. Just ensure your box-of-choice has enough room and is deep enough to hold all of your needs!
When assembling your kit, it is best that you try to include a first-aid manual as they are handy for everyone in the family to use and refer to, if needed. Sometimes if you are treating an injury in a rush, you can forget the specified or required procedure needed, and a first-aid manual is your handy guide.
Here are some basic essential items you will need to include in your personalized first-aid kit:
1. Sterile Gauze Pads (several different sizes)
2. Adhesive Tape
3. Adhesive Bandages (several sizes)
4. Elastic Bandage (like an Ace Bandage)
5. Antiseptic Wipes
6. Antibiotic Ointment
7. Antibacterial soap
8. Antiseptic Solution (i.e. hydrogen peroxide)
9. Alcohol Wipes
10. Hydro-cortisone Cream
11. A Splint
12. Scissors
13. Tweezers
14. Ibuprofen
15. Instant Cold Packs
16. Calamine Lotion
17. Non-latex Gloves
18. All Purpose Eye Drops
19. Antihistamine Tablets
20. First-Aid Manual
As with all medications, antiseptics and products, it is recommended to check your first aid kits on a regular basis to ensure nothing is out of date or expired. If you or a member of your family has specific health needs, please do not forget to add that item to your kit!
