Summer is upon
us at last, and as the school summer holidays draw ever closer, most of us will
be planning holidays, camping trips as well as many other fun outdoor
activities which will allow us to have fun in the sun. However, it's always important to remember
that things can take a bad turn very quickly in the summer, and it is a popular
time of year for accidents. Don't get
caught out this summer and make sure you always have a first aid kit to
hand. We take a look at the top 5
occasions where a first aid kit will always be useful.
Festivals
No matter what
festival you're heading to, the crowds of bodies, endless tent poles and, of
course, the combination of alcohol can all lead to unpredictable
accidents. Having a first aid kit to
hand is ideal for making sure that you can deal with these accidents and keep
them clean, which is a difficult task in a dirty festival environment. A first aid kit should be at the top of your
festival pack list.
Holidays
When you're
abroad, it can be difficult to get hold of a first aid kit, especially if you
struggle with the language. They may not
have the same supplies which you'd be used to at home, so it's always safer to
take your own first aid kit with you.
It's better to put the liquid elements of your first aid kit in your
hold luggage to avoid losing it at airport security.
Trips to the Park/Beach
A trip to the
beach or park is a great way to soak up the sun, but it can also be a place for
plenty of unexpected accidents as well as of course, insect bites. Making sure that you pack a first aid kit
with plenty of antiseptic, antihistamines and insect repellent/sting relief
will give you the best chance of avoiding tears and stop bites from becoming
swollen and uncomfortable.
First aid kits
are useful to carry with you no matter where you go – always keep one in the
car so that you're always covered for those unexpected emergencies. For all of your first aid kit needs, click
