I ask this because I just finished packing a pocket sized mini first aid kit, using supplies from our full size home kit. I’m sure people will mostly agree with the contents I packed, but does anyone have any other suggestions?

This is the kit I packed today, should I try to add anything else? There’s not much space left, but I can probably stuff a couple other flat packet items in there, so am I like missing anything obvious that might fit?

    Is it actually safe? Cyano in cyanoacrylate doesn’t fill me with joy and sense of wonder

      Just FYI, a lot of chemical names don’t really work like that.

      Norco (opiate painkiller) is HYDROcodone and acetaminophen. TONS of medications start with HYDRO but have nothing to do with opiates.

      METHylphenidate Methylprednisolone is a common steroid often prescribed to kids

      CYANoacrylate is to CYANide as GRAPEfruit is to GRAPE.

      Edit: methylphenidate is in fact related to meth. I had my names mixed up. My bad!

          Whoops, good catch. I was thinking of Methylprednisolone. It’s been a while since I’ve been in the pharmacy.

          Methylphenidate is in fact related to meth, lol.

      Yes, clean the wound as always and use a fresh unopened bottle and it’s perfectly safe.
