Definitely not telling your sister I don’t have any kind of a first aid kit and I’m pretty sure I’m out of band-aids at home too...uh, just downloading that list there, no big deal...
😂 Honestly! We never think of these things, until you’re holding pieces of your thumb rummaging for a Band-Aid...not that I’ve done that...more than once...
I’m with your sister on this one. I’m sure it will come as no surprise that as a former EMT I always carry a tourniquet, QuikClot( bandages with a built in coagulating agent) , and Israeli bandages- like a cloth wrap for a bleeding wound, and a lot of other supplies for stopping bleeding.
I do need to brush up on my splinting supplies, though 😁
Ooh, I don’t think so. I got mine in an individual first aid kit(IFAK) - you should be able to buy it online. You’re most likely to find it being sold by a company that sells EMS supplies. Like a lot of bleeding control solutions, it was first developed in wartime .
Such a great post - you gotta have those band aids...! Thank you for the checklist!
I carry superglue in my first aid kit (disclaimer: you do you; this is not a medical recommendation) to deal with any clean cuts. As a glass artist I would (alarmingly) often accidentally cut myself on sharp edges, and I found/still find superglue absolutely wonderful to stick my skin back together for quick healing with no sore gaping edges.
No judgment! I’ve actually heard of that solution before. I don’t know how different it is to the liquid stitches they use to close external cuts (after suturing the internal layers) tbh.

I somehow knew you would 😂😘
I’ve not heard of QuikClot. Will look those up. Can you get those at pharmacies?

Probably the same stuff - just in the right hands....!!!!! 🤣😉🧑⚕️
Now you've got me thinking a thought that will keep me awake. How *does* moisture expire, exactly? I hope you explain it in a post once you find out.
Mission accepted! 😅
