Show Health notes This health information is provided pro-vided by a Blue Cross and Blue Shield article titled "Health and Benefit Notes." Every home should have a first-aid first-aid kit, but many homes do not. The American College of Emergency Physicians suggests that a simple kit can be put together by including aspirin tablets and a non-aspirin pain reliever (for headaches, pain, fever, simple sprains); ipecac syrup and activated charcoal, to treat poisoning; an elastic bandage; scissors and tweezers adhesive tape; a thermometer; disposable, instant-activating cold packs; adhesive bandages and gauze pads. |
