Are you first aid trained? That knowledge is more valuable than the kit itself. By the way,what exactly are tactical tweezers?

I have basic first aid at work but am going to do a further course. Hubs is better trained than me.

Tactical tweezers come to a sharp point instead of a flat end.

If you have training, you are ahead of the pack. Brilliant. I looked up the tweezers, it seems they are a ‘thing’ :lol: one lives and learns.

Up until last year, we had the same domestic situation. I get it. What can be dealt with at home, with otc remedies is always a good thing. Especially now that a consultation with a doctor is as rare as an audience with the Queen!
