Covid-19 and facemask

-

One of the major guidelines for Covid-19 prevention is to wear a facemask when out in public. 

A majority of people find  this really uncomfortable and this reduces compliance massively. 

The nonmedical facemask or cloth facemask is a preferred option as they are reusable and therefore a more economical option.

Just ensure that they are made of breathable fabrics so that you are not so uncomfortable when wearing them.

Wearing facemask protects you and others. Play your part in stopping the spread of Covid-19, be responsible.

CHILD SAFETY: OUR HOMES HAVE MORE POISONOUS SUBSTANCES THAN WE REALIZE

Source: Max Pixel I had a friend who told me how her last child mistakenly drank Dettol liquid. She immediately went into panic mode (as you would expect of a mother). She had to ensure her child drank some palm oil to neutralize any possible effect(African first aid,lol). But what is the best way to handle such unexpected events. You first have to understand that children knowledgeable enough to distinguish between what is actually healthy and harmful. They copy what adults do yet not knowing the reason we do them or where to draw the line when taking seemingly risky acts. Remember the scene in Home Alone 1, where Macaulay Culkin's character (Kelvin) used his father's shaving cream. He screamed because of the sensation he felt. He (Kelvin) didn't understand that the actual use of the shaving foam. He just wanted to behave like his dad. Without proper supervision, a  child can pick up any liquid and ingest it. What poisons are in our homes that can be harmful t

What's the function of cotton buds in your first aid kit/box?

-

If you own a standard first aid kit/box, you are most definitely going to find some cotton buds in them. No, their inclusion in your first aid kit/box isn't to help apply or take off your make up😝 No, they're not there to "clean", poke or tickle your ears 🤦‍♀️. Putting stuff in your ears is a no-no, it poses the risk of damaging your eardrums  So what are they for? Cotton buds aka Q tips, cotton bud applicators, cotton tip applicators, cotton swabs in first aid kits/boxes are for 👇 1) cleansing wounds or area surrounding a wound 2) applying topical meds (burn cream, antiseptic ointment/solution etc.) 3) to pick out debris in the eye or wounds (in the absence of clean running water) So if you didn't know, now you know😁 It's not sufficient that you own a first aid kit/box, it's important that you know how to use it's contents. #CottonBuds #QTips #CottonTipApplicators #CottonBudApplicators #FirstAid #FirstAidKit ##FirstAidSavesLives #TheFA

Source: Linda Ikeji's Blog Finally, I found the video of the girl who was videoed performing CPR (Obviously this was her first time performing CPR) on her brother who had collapsed. With her mom and possibly her mom’s friend guiding her on what to do over the phone on CPR procedure. This must have been one of the most terrifying and stressful assignment for her to perform. However,it was a life and death issue. Words cannot describe how she felt doing it or was able to perform this, but she did and saved the day,an avoidable death was prevented. #AFABulouSSister! She performed the hands only procedure, although she did not exactly get it done as recommended, but the outcome was good. Check CPR procedures on my blog. Be equipped with the skill and the kit! You never know when a loved one or a stranger would collapse in your presence, it could end up been a disaster if you don't know what to do. But undergoing a first aid training and practice with a professional
