Thinking of putting together a custom first aid kit for your team or to toss in the back of the car for emergencies and camping? I list the essentials plus some other interesting items that you might include. After the generic item description, I usually include a brand that I have found particularly effective and possibly some notes) If you get everything I recommend, then your kit will more resemble a backpack or a fully stocked medicine cabinet, but hey. I like being helpful. :)
CONVENTIONAL ITEMS (CORE FIRST AID KIT) Various Band-Aids Antiseptic Wipes (rubbing alcohol is worthless) Cotton Balls (avoid synthetic) Triple Antibiotic Ointment (Mycitracin) OTC Painkillers (Aspirin, Tylenol and Aleve) Instant Ice Packs Gauze Roll and Scissors Gloves Anti-Nausea/Diarrhea Medication (Mylanta liquid) Activated Charcoal pills (food poisoning) Antihistamine (Benadryl Liqui-Gels) Baking Soda (for use as an anti-acid, tooth care, making poultices on insect stings such as ants & wasps) Insect Bites (Benadryl Spray/Gel - itch relief, Chiggerex - for healing, Chigarid - to kill chiggers) Cold Medication (Theraflu) Cough Drops (Fisherman's Friend, though some comment it is too strong or off tasting)
