First Aid Made Simple
Good first aid does not depend on having a complicated or expensive assortment of supplies, although it is difficult to help in a crisis without a basic kit. This list includes items that are often vital. Keep the first aid kit simple, so that it will be easier and less expensive to restock after use. Special family conditions, such as previous allergic reactions, should also be considered. Is there a first aid kit in your car, workplace, and home?
- Large, clean bandana
- Scissors
- Ipecac syrup

- Ziplock bags
- Sanitary pads (individually wrapped)
- 1-inch tape
- Bulb syringe
