There are very few ways you can avoid life’s little accidents. Whether it’s cutting your finger with a kitchen knife or tripping on a hike and busting your knee open, the best way to treat these little mishaps is with a first aid kit.
Why is it important to have a first aid kit?
A well-stocked first aid kit is important to have on hand in case of emergencies. It’s recommended that you have multiple kits for your home, car and shed as well as kits designed for specific activities you enjoy like hiking, camping or boating. You can even get kits for kids and pets.
You should always carry one with you or know where you can access one quickly, and always keep it up to date.
What should be in one?
According to the Red Cross, a first aid kit should include basic medical supplies like antiseptic, bandages, sterile dressings, aspirin, antibiotic ointment packets and more; (see the full list here). Plus any additional items, like medication for preexisting medical conditions, that you or loved ones might suffer from.
