Are there laws requiring public places to have FIRST AID kits in case of emergencies? I'm curious about this. It only makes sense that every public place has some sort of FIRST AID KIT to treat, lets say a somewhat deep cut, or a puncture, etc., while rescue workers get there. I'm sure this would help in the spread of MRSA (methicillin resistan Staphylococcus aerous) which has just killed a young man in Virginia, making 21 schools close. Supposedly this bacteria will be killing more people than AIDS!!!

What are some good items for a 4 years olds first aid kit? for emergency situations like band aids.. what kind of medicines should i keep? i need a list of stuff i should pick up for this. I already have the Johnsons first aid kit, I want to make one for a 4 year old.

Adults only what to put into a emergency kit? My friend is always giving gag gifts on people bdays. She is between guys right now so I am making her a kinda first aid kit or emergency kit lol. I am putting a vibrator and condom in the box. What else could I put inside there?

using Vicodin (hydrocodone) for emergencies (first-aid kit)? I do a lot of adventuring and backcountry snowboarding. If I am doing anything serious I always keep a good first-aid kit with me. On one occasion the friend I was with fractured his elbow while we were snowboarding, and was in serious pain. It wasn't serious enough to where he needed to be airlifted or something like that but it was 2 or 3 hours before he could get to the hospital. All I had was OTC pain killers like ibuprofen and aspirin, and wish I had something stronger like hydrocodone to give to him. I could get hydrocodone from people I know and trust that have some left over from surgeries. Do you guys think it is wise to keep this in my first-aid kit and administer it in an emergency? I know it's illegal, but don't you think the benefits might outweigh the risks?

"first Aid" kit for a dog? what all should come in a emergency "First Aid" kit for a dog?

What should I put in my family's First Aid kit? What should I put in my family's First Aid kit? I think it would be safer and smart to have a disaster/First Aid kit in case of an emergency, but I can't really think of what to pack. Can you help me? Juan-WHAT should I put IN THE KIT?

What should be in an emergency kit on a boat? I've heard of quite a few people getting shipwrecked over the years. Should boats have an emergency kit similar to hikers, with those thermal blankets/tarplike things, water, food bars/other unperishable food, lighters/matches, etc. (maybe in a floating pouch)? Obviously there should be first aid kits and other items, but should boats carry a kit in case boaters are stranded, is it already suggested, and what else should go in it?

What are some household products that can be used for First Aid? Obviously, every person in ahome should be able to dial the Emergency Number with clear instructions and a First Aid kit in homes is always a good idea, but what natural household products can be used for First Aid? I know pepper can be used for cuts, aloe for burns (after it's been under running cold water for at least 10 minutes) but are there more? Hazel: All the sites I've read about burn care have said: " do NOT put butter or salt containing substances on burns."

What do you keep in your First Aid Kit for the barn? After a quick trip to the vet this morning (nothing serious), I got to thinking. What does everyone keep onhand for minor First Aid in the barn? I keep Furizone, Cut n Heal, peroxide, vet wrap, iodine, etc. Not just something you need a prescription for, but just good items to keep on hand for the minor everyday bump, scatches, and scrapes that horses seem to get. Or items that can help in an emergency until you can get to the vet. A lot of new horse owners may not have these (or even know that you can use a lot of household items for horse First Aid) and sharing this information could save someone a lot of stress.

Do you have a Pet First Aid Kit? Are you prepared for a pet emergency? You can buy a kit or make your own. Even some minimal supplies can save your pet till it can get to the vet ! This is not an ad, I don't sell things, just suggesting a good idea. ebay has some for sale or you can google pet first aid kit or dog first aid kit and find several. I would probably buy one and add to it. My friend's kit helped us stabilize my dog's 2 broken front legs till we got to the emergency vet. The vet was impressed we'd done such a good job setting the legs for him.

first aid kit, how much should i spend on one? i'm a nurse and so i want to have a first aid kit in my car for emergencies, i would hate to be in a situation where i knew how to help someone and didn't have the right equipment or dressings or whatever. i quickly went through an internet store and picked out $500 (Australian dollars) worth of stuff - and that was holding back! $500 bought some awesome stuff, this was shaping up to be a sweet first aid kit. think mobile emergency department, or at least pretty close.... this wasn't a first aid kit (pre-made), those come with three gloves, two pieces of gauze and an old bandaid - waste of time usually. this $500 bought all the stuff i would put in it and would make a proper/useful kit. i'm talking burnaid+burns dressings, good scissors, face mask for resus, splinter removers, instant cold packs, combine, dressing packs, jelonet, opsite, hypafix, triangle bandages, analgesia, antihistamines and antacids. i wasn't being ripped off

How prepared are you to take care for yourself and your family in case of a state of emergency? Do you at least 14 days worth of provisions, blankets, towels, first aid kits, batteries, flashlights, candles, natural gas detectors, enough clean water for your whole family, plus water purification tablets, a all purpose weather radio, toiletries, does your family have a safe place to go incase your family is apart when the state of emergency is declaired, do you think your ready for anything? Actually i'm Canadian, but i feel that everyone should be ready for the unexpected, like when we had the summer of hell up here in Canada, when the wildfires raged out of control and we had to get help from our friends in America, when they loaned us some of there water bombers. Here is a link to the RedCross website that gives you a list of items to put in a home emergency kit. http://www.redcross.org/services/disaster/0,1082,0_3_,00.html

how can I inform the audience on the importance of caring a first aid kit in their bag pack? I am doing an informative speech for 6 mns on the importance of having a first aid kit in one's bagpack. It is hard for me to find the datas so far. I was going to discuss about 1) what is the first aid kit? and I would describe the contents of the first aid kit by having one box with me. 2) I would discuss why do we use a first aid kit? I would use multiple example of emergency approaches. and then I am stuck. I need help on finding reliable sites to find the infos. please someone help me.

Recommendations for an extensive First Aid kit? My first Aid skills are far above average as I spent years as a Combat soldier and then 29 years as a Subway Emergency Mechanic. Sometimes had to do First Aid while Paramedics were throwing up. I am looking for recommendations for items to stock a very good First Aid kit which I would custom chose from for various outings. Pharmacists Medical Doctors Paramedics Firemen Soldiers Nurses and anyone else who deals with emergencies on a regular basis are especially requested to make suggestions. As is anyone with special experience in this area. Knowing what to do and having the will to do it has helped me save a number of lives. I just hate taking credit. I would appreciate any additional advice. I realize I forgot people like ski patrol and rescue workers smoke jumpers etc Poison center workers would be especially appreciated include advise on use if feel it should be included. Thank you in advance. I'm in Canada not the US. What I don't know how to do I do not attempt to do. Paramedics were allowed under live subway trains and at 11,000 ft there are no ambulances. I have been able to get choppers there while military but still had to get the vic to the chopper. I would be willing to serve time before allowing someone to die if I could have saved him. That is a small part of what being a soldier is all about. You can take a man out of the army but not the army out of the man. Sorry I meant to say Paramedics were not allowed under live trains Jane Flatters me in ways I don't deserve. I was just in the right place at the wrong time a little to often.

Canine First Aid Question? A lot of the questions on here relate to dogs eating things that could be potentially fatal.

Now that I'm having a baby, I want to starting thinking about stuff to put in there for my baby in case of an emergency. What kind of stuff would be good to put in?

help! need first aid advice!!? i need to know what should i do in an emergency and what should i dont do, also what should a first aid kit sould contain and how some accidents should be avoided B.T.W. w/ any of those 3 should do it

I'd like to organize a first aid class for pet owners, how could I go about doing this? I was thinking about asking Pet Smart if they would down for allowing a class once a month with the class cost going for our local Animal Aid or Humane Society. Any suggestions on how to organize this? Who could I ask to lead the class perhaps a local vet? And about how long should the class be? I was thinking 2 hrs. w/ a 15 min. break for snacks. I would suggest people leave their pets home and someone (like from Animal Aid) bring a very calm cat and/or dog for demonstrations along w/ using maybe stuffed dogs. People don't realize that CPR is different for dogs/cats then it is for people. Also, what to do in an emergency (pet gets hit by car, pet gets attacked by another animal) would be discussed and maybe little pet first-aid kits and pamphlets could be distributed. The class cost could cover the kits. I'd like to hear from people who have attended maybe something like this or anyone who just loves pets and has some good suggestions! ANY FEEDBACK APPRECIATED! I also think a certificate of class participation could be given out and those stickers for the fire department that let them know how many animals and what kinds are in your home. GOOD IDEA???????????? Could save potentially many pets lives I think!

cute idea? emergency love kit? i have an idea to make my boyfriend an "emergency love kit" just like a first aid kit. so either when he's away from me, he can use some of the stuff. or when he's with me, he can use it. what do you think i should include? it has to be cute, and it can be somewhat sexual (like condoms ;) ) he's a shy, respectful kind of kid, so nothing too promiscuous haha. any ideas? 10 points to the cutest!

What kind of First Aid Kit would NOT be eligible for a Flexible Spending Account? I would like to purchase a nice Emergency First Aid Kit with My Flexible Spending Account (FSA). What wouldn't qualify? Would this one that I would like to get be eligible? http://www.abfirstaidstore.com/product/fogg/first-aid-kitslarge-kits/1500-first-aid-kit I am frequently outdoors pursuing adventure sports like Rock Climbing, Kayaking & Backpacking and am an active Triathlete as well. This kit would be for the house and back of my SUV and would be a comfort to know it's there. I've also taken Wilderness First Responder Courses and was a Combat Lifesaver in the military so I know a few medical tricks. Would this kind of kit be eligible? Thanks in advance.

What should I put in my family's First Aid kit? What should I put in my family's First Aid kit? I think it would be safer and smart to have a disaster/First Aid kit in case of an emergency, but I can't really think of what to pack. Can you help me?

Question about buy ipecacuana? I need to sort out my emergency first aid kit, and recently I was talking to a friend of mine who says she has something called buy ipecacuana or ipecac (sorry, I am unaware of the spelling) which she has in Emergency just in case one of her son's swallows something like poison or they are at desperate measures and need to get something out of his system. I thought it might be a good idea if I have some around the house just in case, but I am not one hundred percent sure about where to buy it or what to ask for. My friend says she thinks she brought some over a counter at a pharmacy but I have heard many people saying you need a prescription? Any help appreciated, thank you.

What's the most effective way to advertise my services? I have decided to become a private lifeguard and will be selling my services for backyard pool parties, club pool parties, etc. I have 6 years experience and have all the Red Cross certifications. I am even thinking about investing in some equipment like a lifeguard tube, emergency first aid kit, etc. But before I start investing in this I want to make sure it is worth it. I posted a Craigslist ad and scored $100 for a backyard pool party within a few days. What else can I do to spread the word about my services? Would printing ads and posting them in suburban neighborhoods be effective?

Parents, how many of you keep "emergency kits" in your car? You know, tools, blankets, first aid kit, etc. in case of an emergency. What's in yours?

Brides, what else should I put in my emergency kits? I'm an up and coming Wedding Planner...fully certified but this is my first wedding! It's on June 12 and I feel like I'm getting married all over again! I want everything to go PERFECTLY and I KNOW it'll be an amazing ceremony. So, what other things should I put in my emergency kit? So far I have: a first aid kit with band aids, pain relievers, Neosporin etc, then I have a box that I filled with: Tissues, tampons, red bull (at groom's request) Axe body spray, sewing kit, safety pins, lint roller, lotion, tooth brushes and tooth paste (groom's a smoker so bride requested that) mints, nail file and clippers, hand sanitizer, waters that I'll have in a cooler in my car, Tide pen, shine control papers (I recommend these if you're getting married the the summer- they take the shine w/o taking the makeup...inexpensive too!). I think I have my bases covered but... what else? Knew thought about that super glue! That's an awesome idea! Thanks! Oh yea, I do have hair pins/ bobby pins, thanks for the reminder. I even have imodium for diarrhea and gas relief....lol it came in the first aid kit.

kids karate class first aid? I am teaching for the first time by myself tomorrow. My main fear is that I won't know what to do if someone is injured. Should I bring a first aid kit (I have assorted sized bandaids, neosporin, cold compress, and pain pill is that enough?). How much first aid should I administer? I mean say a kid gets a bloody nose, am I expected to stop class and deal with that, or should I have the kids parents paged and let them deal with that. We are at a healthclub and none of the parents watch the class they go elsewhere or go upstairs and exercise. I am dealling with kids 6-10. Then if there is a REAL emergency should I call 911 first or the kids parents, and if so when should I call 911. I have taken a first aid unit 2 years ago. I know cpr but have not been certified-- could I get in trouble for preforming it if need be? I know kind of wrong category but figure most instructors have probably dealt with this before. Osu! giving someone advil is illegal??

What do you keep in your pets first aid kit and how do you use it? I live i a remote and isolated Alaskan village. We do not have a vet or even an MD in the area. In the event of an emergency it requiers a 3.5 hour bush plane ride to town. At times planes are grounded due to weather. I need a first aid kit with adiquate suplies to handel emergencies with my family and pets. I will take supplies from human and dog kit but I keep the medicines seperate so I know it is a safe medication for dogs.

Lorrajne thanks for the link got some good ideas from it Nellana: your suggestions seem important to have so I will look for them. where do you purchase them from? thanks for all the great suggestions from ya'll

Why don't people do more to prepare for emergencies? Even me. I know darn well I should have enough supplies for 2 weeks for my family, but I don't. About the only thing I've done is prepare a pretty good emergency kit for my car including tools, survival stuff, food, and a really good first aid kit.

What can you tell me about this old first-aid kit? I moved to West Virginia several years ago, and my family moved into this old overgrown worn-out house (my mom enjoys "fixer-uppers") So the previous owner told us the story of this house, that it had been built in the early 1900s (if memory serves, the 30s or 40s), and had been a farm where this woman in her 90s had lived. There was a lot of renovation to do, so as we toured the basement, I looked up to the ceiling and saw this box sitting on to pipes. I got it down and read it. It says on the front "TRADE MARK 'TABLOID' BRAND" and underneath that still on the front it says "FIRST-AID (PAC-KIT). In between it has a sort of 'T' with what looks like a horse inside. On the bottom it says " BURROUGHS WELLCOME & Co. (U.S.A.) INC. NEW YORK,N.Y." and also a U.S. patent number. There is nothing inside so I assume it was all used. Inside there is a ripped paper with the half left saying " TABLOID etc. etc. No. 748 SNAKE-BITE KIT (SUCTION TYPE). It looks to me like it might have been an advertisement for another product of theirs. underneath that it has another paper (both of these are attached to the box by the way) that tells of the contents and what to do in an emergency. The box is very red, full metal and uses metal sort of buckles to close. I know this has dragged on for a long time, but I have found several different kinds of similar items on the internet, but nothing the same, and I wanted you to know what I was looking at clearly. If you can tell me what it is or what it's worth. I would much appreciate it. Thanks.

where to buy a first aid kit (in a store, not online)? i just want a basic first aid kit to store in my car for emergencies. i don't want to spend a ton of money. what can i expect to spend on a kit like that? or would it be cheaper to put it together myself (buy some bandages, etc and put it in a box)? i'm not opposed to buying it online, but i'd kinda rather get it from a store, not pay shipping and a see in person if it's crappy before buying it.

what are some important things to keep in a bike emergency kit? my scout troop is going to host the areas camp out and i am the roaming photographer i decided it would be best to take my bike instead of walking and i need to get my bike ready for this kind of thing its in Florida so not too many hills but the camp does have its rough spots,holes and rocks so i have my mountain tread on my bike already is there anything else i should do to prepare myself and the bike and what should i put in my emergency kit other then a screw driver, various tools, and first aid kit and one of those mini air cans

What's in your first aid kit? I was just wondering because I want to expand my first aid kit for Tango, but I want to get the best stuff. Mine isn't very good right now. Just wraps, betadine, Corona, Bag Balm, Bute (paste and pill), and that's all I can think of... What do you have in your first aid kit? What works the best for cleaning out wounds? What works the best for helping cuts/wounds heal? Sorry if this is a really stupid question. I rather know where if Tango gets hurt and I call the emergency vet that I don't have to go buy the stuff, I can have it on hand... It would suck if the stores where out of stock or something.

What would be the makings of a good first aid kit for my home? I have only a few bandaids and some antibiotic ointment and I want to create a good emergency first aid kit. There are so many products out there and so many different types of ointments and treatments, which ones are the best for cuts, burns, stings, etc... Thank you for taking your time to answer, I know I could look it up on the web, but I wanted ask here first. Ok, MeMD, you win! Thank you for taking the time to list these items, I appreciate your caring tone in your answer as well :) You deserve 10 stars!

Any laws on carrying a scalpel/s in the UK? (First aider)? Speaking on medical terms are first aiders allowed to carry scalpel/s in there first aid kits because I will soon be taking a first aid course in: basic and emergency first aid an emergency life support. Will I be able to carry a medical instrument as such as the scalpel in the UK? @snark, the scalpel will be an additional item to cut open THICK clothing to get to the wound or to be used to cut off tissue that may have been infected. It will be used as a general First aid item and I somewhat go hiking now and then. Add: Would there be any reason for a first aider to carry a scalpel in their FAK ?

What would be the best in car First aid kit for a Jr. Fireman? Im trying to find a First aid kid for a jr fireman. I am a boy scout with first aid and emergency preparedness merit badge so i know what to do with just about everything first aid wise, im just looking for a good all around kit for just about anything. It will probably be used most for things like car accidents, but it has to be good for just about anything. If it would be a kit that i would have to add some stuff to that would be fine too. Any suggestions would be nice. (try and keep under $150) i have been looking at this one http://www.galls.com/style.html?assort=general_catalog&style=TK079 any suggestions are appreciated, thanks I understand to leave it to the professionals but if im the first person there i will be helping the person especially because i know what to do. And a car accident is just the first thing that came to mind, im just looking for suggestions for an all around first aid kit for just about anything. Im looking for suggestions, not advice on what to do because i know that When paramedics arrive to get out of the way and let them do their job, but being a Jr fireman i usually am the first person there. I know to get out of the way

What should I put in my (small!!!) emergency first aid kit that I'll be taking on my cruise? I'll be doing one week in the Mediterranean in May, and we will have daily stops in various ports in Italy, Greek Isles and Croatia. As RoofingPrincess so wisely said, everything is available (which I knew) at a price (which I also knew). I can go a month with using a band-aid or a pain relief pill, but this stingy old Girl Scout wants to be prepared.

Pocket Sized First Aid Booklet Suggestions? After successfully surviving Hurricane Irene, I see there are a few things I need to know in case of emergency: 1. What is the name of a good First Aid Booklet that I can place in my emergency bag and/or carry around with me? 2. What is Neosporin used for? 3. What are the names of some simple antiseptics to keep in a make shift First Aid kit? 4. Simple wound care-what should be used? I am thinking Normal Saline, or soap and water, use some Betadine and then cover and dress with sterile 4x4. 5. I am reading that some first aid kits have heartburn meds. Why is that? Thanks!

Good clothes for bushfire emergency kit- ideas please? I need to pack a bushfore emergency kit for a school geography assignment. I have water, blankets, first aid kit, torch, etc; but am unsure of what kind of clothes to include. They need to be non-flammable. Any ideas? (I don't think i've got any woollen clothes).

Emergency kits should be kept at home? You can purchase a first aid kit at drugstores or a local Red Cross office, or make one of your own.A well-stocked first-aid kit, kept within easy reach, is a necessity in every home.

What to put in first aid kit? So I'm putting together an emergency first aid kit for my horses and i've been looking all over the internet and i've found some pretty good ones but the problem that i keep running across is that these lists and suggestions have billions of different things in them, and each list says something different. So i was just wondering what you guys have in your kits. What you guys have had to use and have found useful to have on hand. This would help me tons! Oh and could you also put what you use each item for? because a lot of those lists just tell you what you'll need but not what it's for : / thanks
