A first aid kit contains essential items for treating wounds and common ailments. As a minimum, it should include cotton, disinfectant, a tourniquet, plaster strips, anti-allergy medicine, anti-fever medicine, anti-cough/cold medicine, anti-diarrhea medicine, and items for eye protection and washing. When assembling a first aid kit, use only sterilized medical supplies and check the quality and source of items, especially if purchasing cheaply from convenience stores. It is important to be prepared to treat minor injuries and illnesses when professional medical help may not be immediately available.

2. We all have come to a point when we realise how important it would
be to always be clean and sanitised.

3. Why not?

4. Today, we all know that we are surrounded by different things that
pollute our air, water, and environment. Moreover, we move around all
the time thus, we cannot help but touch different things a maybe, pick
up some germs on the way.

5. Nonetheless, we are also aware that should we need to stop and to
eat, or just to do about anything else, we would need hand sanitisers.

6. Of course, clean running water is not always available. So, these are the
closest things we can have when we need to clean our hands next to
water. In fact, some even use this to clean other external body part in
the absence of rubbing alcohol.

7. However, we also have to note that we need to be cautious about the
kinds of hand cleaning aid we use. We need to be sure that they are
non-toxic and they do not contain strong chemicals that might damage
the skin or cause irritations.
When checking out such products, it would also always be good to try a
bit of the testers so you're sure your skin doesn't react negatively to it.

8. Furthermore, if in case you have been a regular fanatic of being
healthy, you might also be familiar with the necessity of keeping your
own “go bag”. In other words, these are known as first aid kits. Though
we do not have a specific code book as to all the things that are
required, the usual first aid content would include all the important
tools or materials for treating wounds.

9. So, if we were going to enumerate, you would need cotton,
disinfectant, a tourniquet, some plaster strips, too. But you have to
admit that you can just pick up these stuff from convenience store. Be
wary though that the materials you choose are properly sterilised.

10. Some convenience store sells very cheap versions of clinical
instruments or materials and some buy them. But the thing is you need
to be sure of quality. We are not saying that price determines that, but
you need to check on the manufacturer to avoid purchase of probable
fake products.

11. Aside from the wound cleaning materials, you would also probably
need in your first aid bag some anti-allergy medicine, anti-fever, anti-
cough and cold, and anti-diarrhea. Now that you are done with that,
one thing that you probably did not think about that much at once
could be something that can protect your eyes.

12. Some think that they just blink in the water if ever a thing gets in it, or
they can just rub them. No. It is not advisable to rub your eyes in any
circumstance! If dust gets in it and you did rub, you might cause
scratching which may lead to irritation.

13. Some resort to eye drops to prevent dryness and itching. But if
anything, you have to be prepared and be ready for a makeshift
emergency eye wash station too.
