10. 
Here are a few scenarios in which my First Aid Kit would be handy:



Someone gets stung by a bee- If this happens, I could open my First Aid
Kit and grab the anti-itch cream that works well for insect bites. I could
give them an Aspirin or Tylenol caplet if water is available. If not, I could
use the Urgent RX Fast Powder version of Ache and Pain Relief (which
contains Aspirin), and if they have an allergic reaction give them the
Allergy Attack Relief version.
Someone scrapes a part of their body (knee, arm, etc.)- If this happens, I
could grab some Neosporin, gauze, and tape to stop the infection and
the bleeding. Also, I could give them a pain reliever (Aspirin or Tylenol). I
could use the gloves to stop the spread of infection, and the alcohol
wipes to disinfect the area. I could use the band-aids as well to protect
the wound.
Someone feels like they have a fever- If this happens, I could get out my
thermometer and check their temperature. If they do have a fever, I
could give them a fever reducer (Aspirin or Tylenol).
