You should have a first-aid box.
Why not a shelf of supplies, or a medicine cabinet?
Because a box can be totted along if you rush
from top floor bathroom to basement, or
when you go on a camping trip.
If you have a cabinet of supplies, put some in a
medium-size box and you're off to a good start.
What to put in the box?
Adhesive tape - to hold bandages in place.
Bandages - of three sizes; remember, time marches on.
Scissors - to cut bandages and tapes.
Soap - to clean a wound, scratch or cut in place of an antiseptic.
Merthiolate and tincture - of iodine to apply on cuts after washing.
Tweezers - to remove splinters or a stingers.
A Flash light - in case of a brownout.
Rubbing Alcohol - for sterilizing instruments.
