First Aid Kits: 5 Fast Facts

Fact #1. Daily life often brings its share of minor scrapes, burns, puncture wounds, or bug bites. We take most of these small injuries for granted and tend to them as needed. We clean cuts with antiseptic wipes, manage insect stings with anti-itch ointments, and dress afflicted areas with bandages or gauze. We respond in stride, if we have access to a decent first aid kit.
Fact #2. Too many homes, offices, and even schools and daycare centers are without proper first aid supplies. According to a national survey conducted in recent years, nearly half of the households in America do not have a first aid kit. Having a spot in the pantry where your family keeps a few bandages and a bottle of hydrogen peroxide does not constitute genuine first aid preparedness. You must purchase a purpose-built kit.
Fact #3. When deciding which first aid kit suits your needs, it's a good idea to first consider those for whom its contents might one day be used. First, simply consider the number of people in the home, office, or other location for which you are making the purchase. Many kits clearly specify the intended number for which they were assembled.
Fact #4. For the average household, any basic kit should suffice. If your home has special concerns, such as heightened likeliness of insect bites or frequent injuries, consider a larger, more comprehensive kit. Choosing one for a larger group of people is a more challenging affair. There are more diverse needs.
Fact #5. Consider making your kit but one part of greater emergency and disaster response gear. It's a wise idea to keep enough food and fresh water on hand to sustain those in a household for at least three to four days. Also make sure to have working flashlights with spare batteries, and appropriate bedding and clothing.
