Travel First Aid Kit – Your passport to safety.
We often overlook the need for a Travel First Aid Kit until it’s too late. We become so consumed with the last minute rush of leaving home – like tidying up the house before we leave ( where’s the logic in that one!) or organizing what we are going to pack and assembling an array of electrical cords for our phones and cameras!
It’s a well known fact that while we are traveling the likelihood of injury however small is even higher when we travel and unfamiliar surroundings, activities such as sport or adventure tend to induce more risk as well. The most important aspect of going away on a vacation or short trip is to assess your situation – where you are going, are there any risks involved, what are the facilities provided and most importantly the remoteness of your destination.
Maybe some of these points will help you identify similar considerations:
Travel First Aid Kit – Top 10 reasons for needing one.
1. We tend to travel in groups – how many people are at risk. Family friends etc all need protection and it only takes one person to organize their safety.
2. Do any members of your family have specific medical issues – do they need prescriptions or items such as an asthma inhaler?
3. What are the facilities at your destination – do they provide a Travel First Aid Kit and even if they do expect it to be quite basic.
4. Remote locations – how near are the emergency services. It’s quite likely you will need to deal with an emergency on your own before they arrive.
5. Tropical issues – assess the chances of being exposed to bugs and bites, mosquitoes, snakes or fever.
6. Camping or Hiking trips tend to be of the nature where small cuts and bruises may occur especially to feet and hands, chopping wood or small burns.
