Organize a First Aid Kit for Summer

It is officially summertime.

That means most of us will be spending more time in the great outdoors. In spite of our best efforts, it sometimes becomes the great Ouch!doors. Bumps, bruises, stings and scrapes happen.

Now is good time to review first aid supplies and update the first aid kit. Suggestions for a basic first aid kit can be found at www.redcross.org. Add an extra chemical ice bag, an insect bite remedy, and a soothing lotion for sunburn. Review the contents of the kit to make sure that the expiration dates on the products have not expired. It is a good idea to have a first aid kit in the house and in the car. That way supplies are close at hand when they are needed. When accidents happen it is comforting to know you are ready to handle them quickly.
