I have, in a burst of productivity, redone my first aid kit.

Thrown out the old/borderline expired stuff, added some items for the kind of incidents I know I have and so on. I have

1x pair nitrile gloves, for dealing with anyone else’s mess if need be
2x alcohol disinfectant wipes
1x roll strapping tape
1x gauze dressing pad
1x small bottle of Betadine
1x box GOOD bandaids
1x small roll Hydralyte tabs (5 doses) for the “I’ve been pukey, now dehydrated AF” experience
1x box Panadol
1x tube aloe vera gel for burns
1x pack throat lozenges, my preferred
1x pair tweezers
1x pair scissors
1x eye drop guide thingy. I hate putting drops in, I flinch away if anything gets too near my eyes, but if I put this over the neck of an eye-drop bottle it’s less of an issue. I’ve had it for years, but now it’s in a known spot
1x thermometer

Please weigh in, DT? Have I forgotten anything, or put something redundant in?

One of those foldy space blankets . The silvery thermal kind that you can slip into a pocket. Good for shock. Antiinflammatories. Antihistamines. Charcoal tabs (they don’t expire) great for the rankest of farts

Bottle of saline solution. Instant cold pack - the kind you bend to activate. Safety pins. More dressing pads, and some of those weirdly sticky plasfilm bandages they put on tattoos cos you can put them over a bandaid/gauze pad and shower in them.
