What You Need in a First Aid Kit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By Dr. Quack

Every year before camp starts, the new counselors come to me for first aid and CPR training. One of the most important things for the counselors to remember is to always carry their first aid kit with them wherever they go. First aid kits don’t have to be fancy store-bought cases.

An inexpensive nylon fanny pack or cosmetic case will work perfectly well. Waterproof containers are best, and resealable sandwich and freezer bags in various sizes are a cheap and simple way to keep supplies organize within your bag.

Here are the items that I think are essential for a first aid kit:

Adhesive tape – Sterile gauze pad

Medication for upset stomach, pain, allergies, cough and colds

Antihistamine cream

Liquid soap

Adhesive bandages (all sizes)

Small flashlight

Insect repellant

Antibiotic ointment

Safety pins

Scissors

Sunscreen

Thermometer

Tweezers

    Hi guys, It’s not a random post! On the next page it tells about someone going to camp and getting hurt and they used some of the stuff in this first aid kit. So if you don’t have a first aid kit, this ones pretty helpful.
