Anti-Diarrhea medicine is one that I stocked up on.

From Wikipedia:

It is a common cause of death in developing countries and the second most common cause of infant deaths worldwide. The loss of fluids through diarrhea can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. In 2009 diarrhea was estimated to have caused 1.1 million deaths in people aged 5 and over and 1.5 million deaths in children under the age of 5. Oral rehydration salts and zinc tablets are the treatment of choice and have been estimated to have saved 50 million children in the past 25 years.

Thanks for the ping Kartographer.

I have a question about bleach. I saw on one of these threads that bleach has a short shelf life and that one should stock up on sodium hypoclorite. I would really like to know more on this. Can anyone please provide more info.

Where does one get sodium hypoclorite? How do you mix it with water?

Keeping oneself clean goes a long way to staying healthy.

Thanks in advance folks.
