You can buy a first aid kit or put one together yourself with the following items:<p>A list of emergency phone numbers - Poison Control Number for your area!!! <br>Adhesive bandages of assorted sizes. <br>Adhesive tape. <br>Antiseptic ointment (Bacitracin or Neosporin ointment).<br>Hydrogen Peroxide.<br>Aspirin (or aspirin-free) pain reliever, Motrin, Tylenol, etc. <br>Antifungal Powder Or Cream. <br>Calamine Lotion. Useful to ease irritation from bites and stings<br>Kaolin preparation (Pepto-Bismol), Imodium or Lomotil: Useful for stomach upsets. <br>Hydrocortisone Cream: (Cort-Aid) for topical relief of itching due to insect bites or sunburn.<br>Poison control products - syrup of ipecac to induce vomiting and activated charcoal to absorb poisons in the stomach (Do not use either of these unless instructed to do so by trained medical personnel.) <br>Triangular, kerchief-shaped pieces of fabric to be used as a sling <br>Gauze pads 4x4s and 2x2s and rolled gauze of various sizes, especially two and three inches in width <br>Flashlight with extra batteries<br>Scissors.<br>Chemical cold pack<p>Disposable latex gloves. <br>Elastic bandages. <br>Hand cleanser/soap. <br>Scissors. <br>Tweezers. <p>You may want to put a sticker on the outside of your kit as a reminder for any drug that may expire.<p>----------<br>--Disneyland on the Potomac<br>
