It’s bound to happen to someone in the middle of a holiday: Your yummy fried treats turn out to a big hit with everyone, and they tasted so good that you’re going back for a generous second helping – and before you know it, you’ve got belly ache. Or you go walking in the hills and unexpectedly fall over, spraining your ankle. Or you’re out in the sun a little bit too long during the day and suffer the effects of sunburn in the evening. The good news is a first aid kit will help prevent most aches and pains or at least help you get a handle on them quickly.
Does that cream smell? Then throw it away! Did those headache tablets pass their expiry date a long time ago? Then you’d better replace them with new ones.
You should go through and check the quality of everything in your first aid kit before setting off. You do want to have the best treatment whenever you need it, after all. Remember: If it’s a medical emergency, you should immediately see a doctor or go to the hospital.
