First Aid??!!?
If you were trapped on an island, what frst aid supplies would you need besides the obvious such as bandages, anticeptic and thermometers?
I need FIRST AID ITEMS.. NOT food and what not. [thank you Shar D for remembering this] !!!!
ace wrap, twisers, needle and thread, nail clippers, steri strips, 50 gallons of fresh water(After that I would have rain water supply) solar blankets.
Remember people he asked for first aid, not food and other supplies.
Im looking for a list of every day first aid supplies that can be found in the kitchen?
such as vinegar for burns, epsom salt for bruses..
that type of thing
Most common first aid problems are best dealt with using soap and clean water, and simple bandaging materials.
A lot of home remedies, like vinegar for burns, do not really do much more than soap and water does- and many cause more problems then they solve. This is a common problem in a lot of ‘home remedies’ lists.
Having said that, there are some things that work…
- Baking soda. As a paste, it eases itching. In bathwater, it soothes skin, it can be used for dozens of other uses as well.
- Corn starch dabbed on a small wound or scrape can stop the bleeding.
- Payayan (spelling?) based meat tenderizer can stop the pain of most stings, and ammonia stops most others
First Aid supplies for horses?
Ok I am having to replace many of our first aid supplies. I am making a checklist before I head out to the store. I think I have got everything written down. But please post a list of things that you think I will need. I don’t want to forget anything. LOL any posts welcomed!

We also keep on hand: banamine, bute, ketofen, SMZ and penicillin (antibiotics), dex, ace, syringes and needles, but if you are a small operation, it's probably best to leave those things to the vet.
How do I help a minor burn that hurts really bad without very many first aid supplies?
i also can't go to the store or pharmacy right now so i need to have the answer now so please if you have any ideas write it down on yahoo answers!
Do NOT apply Noxema or ice directly on a burn. Run it under cold water. If anything soak it in a bowl with water and ice. Cold is good, but ice by itself will actually increase the burning sensation. If you see bumps or something that looks like a water blister seek medical attention.
what around the house first aid supplies should be taken on a one night camping trip?
Im going camping with my cousins, and uncles on Friday and like always im concerned something is gonna happen to someone or me.Its gonna be a one nighter fire,bb guns,some real old firecrackers that might send a tent blanket up in flames.and last if someone gets there tongue burned with a fajita(little cousins,gotta watch out for um lol).
What is nessecary to take?
bandages and gauze of various sizes
moleskin for blisters
antiseptic creams and ointments
sterile wipes
pain medication
a knife preferably a swiss army one with tweezers and scissors
sunburn relief spray
Hydrogen Peroxide
Neosporin for cuts
If you can try to keep the firecrackers in the trunk of a car or something until you're ready to use them. If not keep them away from the tents and as far from a fire as possible with water nearby.
