Contents packed in an old Q-Tip container:

  • 1 Sterile pad, 2 inches by 2 inches
  • About 2 feet of medical tape, flattened out to fit
  • 1 large bandage
  • 2 average size bandages
  • 2 mini bandages
  • 1 Antiseptic towelette
  • 3 Alcohol prep pads
  • 1 packet of triple antibiotic ointment
  • 1 dose packet of aspirin
  • 1 dose packet of acetaminophen
  • 1 dose packet of benadryl
  • 2 chewable pepto bismol tablets
  • 1 packet of BC powder

I think that’s everything I put in there anyways, hopefully nobody ever needs to use it, but it’s destined to go in our glove box.

Edited because I just added 2 sealed pepto bismol tablets, because why not, they fit neatly in there too.

Edit 2: I added a packet of BC powder. Aside from the typical headache or body pain, they’re also good as a fever reducer.

Edit 3: I added 2 additional alcohol prep pads for a total of 3, easy fit.

    How about a packet of electrolyte tablets? I’ve used them from the work first aid station a few times when I feel myself really dragging

      Maybe… 🤔

      I must ask, do these tend to come with Vitamin B12?

      If so, I can’t take those at all. Somehow, after about 20 minutes or so, B12 triggers like every bodily reflex at once, like I’m sneezing, hiccuping, burping, puking and shitting all at once…

        I’d have to look. I just grab the pack of 2 tablets, I didn’t read the ingredients. I tried looking online, but I have no idea the brand. The people come in and refill the first aid stations every couple weeks

        But it seems that there’s a few types available. You’d have to find one that suits your needs. I know they absolutely help me and I can feel a difference rapidly after letting one melt under my tongue

        Also, those effects sound awful! And bizarre

          Yes, very bizarre…

          It only seems to last for about 10 seconds or so, but yeah I learned that B12 pills aren’t good for me…
