So, unless it's job or hobby related the older we get the more exposure time. I haven't even touched on the horse stuff. Salves, creams, medicines, fly sprays............
two words...rat pee.
That ain't all they do.
Good stuff if you can take it and haven't built up a resistance. I'm on my 2nd day and the swelling going down.
Yeah, you got a point there. The same thing goes for soda cans. There's no way to open one without the little pop-top thing going down in the drink. I hardly ever wash those unless they're visibly dirty, but I know I should.
Sounds pretty good then. I just don't think doctors prescribe it much any more since there's so many other choices out there. I don't remember the last time I took any penicillin.
I've been lucky I guess and have never had to have much dental work done. Knock on wood!

Looks good to me. All I could think to add might me a small pair of scissors, some tape and maybe some sun screen . Maybe tweezers.
Oh - yeah - I also carry a Swiss Army Equestrian, that has a large knife and a hoof pick. That has tweezers.
I was thinking tweezers for you:') Splinters, bees, tick heads....Got a picture of that knife?
Sure! Big knife blade on the left, hoof pic on the right. I put a pen in there just for scale... it's a large pocketknife, not like the little ones we think of when thinking swiss army knife.
It was a gift from our hobbit hole knife man, 300winmag.
The 1st Aid kit sounds pretty inclusive to me. The Swiss Army Equestrian knife sounds pretty cool too. I didn't know they made those, but I should have. They make everything else! I think you've got everything covered, except for maybe some Sting Kill or something like that for bee stings. We've got yellow jackets around here and I've carried those before for them. They're little plastic coated glass vials with a cotton tip and you squeeze them to bust the glass and release the liquid into the tip. They work pretty good to ease the pain. Some Benadryl caplets would be good too, for allergic reactions in people.
Benadryl is a really good tip. I just added that. For bee stings or an unfortunate choice in places to potty (poison oak), or even regular allergy attacks ecurbh has been known to have in particular bloom seasons. Haven't heard of the Sting Kill stuff... Drug store?
Yeah a drugstore ought to have them. I think mine came from Wal-Mart. I think it comes on little cardboard cards, maybe 3 or 4 to a card. They're about as big around as a pencil and maybe an inch or so long and have green liquid in them. There's some other stuff I've used when I couldn't find that that was in a small yellow squeeze bottle about 2 inches long and you just put a drop or two on the sting.
Would you use it on a horse too?
