A "first aid kit" is an important thing to have at home and in an office. Having a first aid kit/box around and being accessible to everyone can prevent further injury. Having a first aid kit doesn't mean it is a substitute for proper medical attention. It is an immediate help. Name at least 15 items/things that you think are needed to be present in a first aid kit/box. These informations might just help other people be aware of the importance of having a first aid kit and what are the things needed. Thank you! Take care =)

yes my dear friend you are right...a first aid kit is just a first aid ....it can never be a full treatment. but it helps out the person injured atleast before taking them to the hospital...before anything serious happens..

One should have different ones. One for the adults and one for children and another one for your pets. Medication, mortin for kids and adults,enough water for at least 3 weeks. blankets, snack w/o salt. bandages, tent (in case of an earthquake, you can sleep outside), money in case of emergency (atms could be out of order)your pets food. can goods. and if your still having trouble not know what to put together, the best bet would be to go to a place where they sell, first aid kit/boxes.
