Stashes of cloth will also be first aid necesary. When one has to work for his food there are many accidents waiting to happen. A first aid class NOW can be a life save later. Of course that is true anytime in life but would become more so later.

Artemesia plants are good for the deworming. A quick search of an old herbal would tell how to use properly. I would look it up for you but I’m totally awake and trying to be quiet and not wake the other person in the house. Rummaging in herbals would be wakeful.. LOL I can look that up in the day if someone wants it.

Superglue is also something that can be used in emergency to seal wounds like cuts. The chemical in there may not be the most body friendly thing, I don’t know, I just know it has a warning label. I have used it for cuts and I understand a lot of pro sports teams use it for that also.

There are several out of the ordinary things I have in my kit for some odd purpose - again, that would be a good thing for me to share with ya’ll in the daylight when I can look at the kit.

Please do let us in your kit.....

Peroxide is a quick way to stop bleeding, learned that one from the Bird magazine, as a bird can bleed to death, if it pulls a feather that was not ready to be shed.

I use it on dogs and cats.

They are also using lots of white sugar to fill wounds that won’t stop bleeding.

Be sure you have your pressure canner to sterilize them - 15# pressure for 45 minutes and you can have many rolls of sterile bandages - and tools for first aid too (no plastic though)

Yep. works great - I had a goat that got her ear shredded by a dog... Super Glued it as it would have been hundreds of stitches - works great. just blot the blood first and get the flesh coated and together quickly - holds great and healed extremely well..... It is used in some surgical procedures in the hospital too.

A doctor gave me that for early treatment of cancer, too. I still have a bottle, I will remember for the dog if need be.
