Sometimes its the little things that are overlooked, and sometimes those little things are important. In this case its a first aid kit. This is the Fundamentals First Aid Kit from Red Flare Kits.
The Fundamentals First Aid Kit has just about everything that a group of people may need. The compartments are arraigned and clearly labeled so the supplies are easy to find when you need them. One of the things that I really liked about this kit, is how well it folded up into a small package. Its small enough to fit into a backpack and contains just about everything that someone may need to treat minor emergencies.
Dr. Lynn Pearson, who is an orthopedic surgeon in Jasper, Texas agreed to do an interview. We discuss the most common types of broken bones and first aid treatment for them.
When asked what the most common type of broken bone is that he sees in his office, the reply was broken forearms in children. First aid for this type of break is to splint the break and get the person to a hospital.
The second most common type of broken bone would be the humorous and shoulder area. First aid for that type of break would be to put the arm into a splint and get the person to a hospital.
Everyone seems to have their own opinion on how to remove a tick. Some people just grab it and pull it off, some people use a match and burn it off, some people use tweezers.
According to health officials, such as the Centers for Disease Control, the proper way to remove a tick is with tweezers.
If you grab the tick with your fingers and pull it off, there is a chance you will crush the tick. Which causes the bodily fluids of the tick to be forced into the persons skin. Any infections the tick was carrying is then injected into the victim.
