This #EDC #FirstAidKit covers common minor ailments, minor cuts and scrapes, only. It is not intended to be a combat medical kit.

A more comprehensive #MedKit is for my #GetHomeBag, which is also my briefcase and can hold my laptop computer and other work items, not my #EDC handbag.

In the bigger kit, I carry things like larger wound dressings and supportive bandages, (especially because I personally have a bad knee). That's also where I carry additional #PPE items.

My portable #FirstAidKit always contains:
12 ea. acetaminophen 500 mg
12 ea. ibuprofen 200 mg
12 ea. diphenhydramine HCl 25 mg
6 ea. ephedrine HCl 12.5 mg/guaifenesin 200 mg
6 ea. doxylamine succinate 25 mg
12 ea. pseudoephedrine HCl 30 mg
12 ea. cimetidine 200 mg
1 oz. spray bottle of 70% isopropanol
1 oz. Lysol aerosol can
nitrile exam gloves
a clean KN95 mask
antacid tabs
waterproof bandages/plasters
flexible bandages/plasters
cotton swabs in a zip baggie
digital thermometer and probe covers

Based on what seem to be authentic purchaser reviews, I have decided to order the Amazon Chinese knockoff version of the Leatherman Raptor #shears #scissors, for about 1/4 to 1/3rd the price. Reviewers who say they have both claim that there is virtually no difference between them.

These will go in my portable #FirstAidKit, which I will fit inside the small Plano ABS #DryBox I also just ordered.

I should probably refresh my bandages, too. The ones I have are years old.
