Thanks for all the advice! You’ve given me a lot to think about. I forgot about burns and silver, and that is really smart to add that in my medical bag. Your advice reminded me that I do have epipens but I don’t have a pediatric epipen. I’m going to ask my pediatrician or naturopath friend to get me a prescription for it. I also just remembered that I need to get IV supplies. We don’t have snakes where we are, but that doesn’t mean we won’t travel to a place that does, so it might be good to have antivenom. I do have a venom extractor kit already. I should also get activated charcoal.

I need to brush up on my skills too. I know how to do infant CPR and adult CPR, start/administer IVs, dress wounds, suture, and do intramuscular shots but it would be wise for me to train others in my family too, just in case. That’s a whole different aspect of prepping that I wouldn’t have thought of without you commenting.

If you have any other ideas I’d love to hear them, because it gets my brain going too!
