First Aid Kits

[short cut sally]

Hi, I ride 95% of the time with co-workers,all nurses, so between us we have a little of everything..band-aids, bacitracin ointment, guaze, kling..and most important, each has a cell phone. Not sure if there will always be reception, but if the spill is that bad, all the bandages and ointment aren't worth a darn. I do like SadieKate's suggestion of coban. That would be better than any roll of kling thought of being..suprised none of us have thought to take that along. Maxi Pads, they have more than one use.. We also have one of those betadyne scrub brushes (in the vehicle though)..We all have sunscreen and lip screen in our vehicles, sunscreen does expire which is something I learned last year. So update regularly! We will be adding more to our stash, as we just all purchased bigger "packs" for under our seats. Looking forward to reading for more ideas as what to add to the first aid supplies. Thanks for the ideas already..shelly

coban.

Took a spill and whanged my elbow once. Wrapped it up with coban and kept the swelling at bay.

My son and I learned this the hard way! We had two types, used the older one on our backs (and his stomach) and the new one on our faces and limbs. WOW did we get burned! Funny spothces were it worked in some spots but not others. We didn't burn at all where we used the new stuff

On my bike I carry a "BRAVE SOLDIER ROAD RASH KIT". It has a little of everything that I know how to use. I also just swapped out the sun screen AND chapstick!
