Make time to prepare home and travel kits for your family’s safety. First aid kits may be basic or comprehensive. What you need depends on your medical training and your distance from professional medical help. Ready-made first aid kits are commercially available from chain stores or outdoor retailers, but it’s easy to make smart, inexpensive first aid kits yourself.]]> 2021-11-27 18:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kagarr13/cgcgjdwyfd4rg2yl/wish/1915650960 Home Kit Necessities kagarr13 https://padlet.com/kagarr13/cgcgjdwyfd4rg2yl/wish/1915662570 Home first aid kits are usually used for treating these types of minor traumatic injuries:

In addition to personal medical items, the kit should contain items to help alleviate the common symptoms of viral respiratory infections such as these:

  • Fever
  • Nasal congestion
  • Cough
  • Sore throat

It should also contain items to treat these ailments:

  • Cuts
  • Mild pain
  • Gastrointestinal problems
  • Skin problems
  • Allergies

Stock it with multi-use items. Almost anything that provides good visibility of contents can be used for a household first aid kit.

  • If your kit will be on the move, a water-resistant, drop-proof container is best.

  • Inexpensive nylon bags, personal kits, fanny packs, or makeup cases serve very well.

  • You do not need to spend a lot of money on a fancy "medical bag." Use resealable sandwich or oven bags to group and compartmentalize items.

  • Put wound supplies in one bag and medications in another.

Most family activities take place here. The bathroom has too much humidity, which shortens the shelf life of items.
