A couple of days ago, we put up a little poser: "someone faints,  what is the first aud intervention?" Here are some reasons people faint👇 - emotional shock - hunger  - dehydration  - over exertion  - exhaustion/fatigue  - seizures  - pain - sight of blood - standing up suddenly or too quickly  - certain heart conditions  - standing for too long under hot conditions  - fear - standing in a position for too long  - sudden drop in blood pressure  - low blood sugar (especially in dianetics) - alcohol consumption  - certain meds Quite a list right? Heads up, so if you are prone to fainting,  avoid items on the list above  #Fainting  #StayHealthy #TheFABS  #TheFirstAidBoxShop  #BeFABulouS 

Is there a valid reason why you think first aid skills are overrated??? Why don't you have first aid box in your space??? Remember👉 It's better to prepare for a medical emergency and not have one than to have a medical emergency and not be prepared! Emergency preparedness =first aid skills + first aid kit/box  Let's be your first aid plug😁 #FirstAidSkills #FirstAidKits #FirstAidBoxes #FirstAidLearned #FirstAidSavesLives #TheFABS  #TheFirstAidBoxShop  #BeFABulouS

It is like a tradition to have a bottle of methylated spirit in a first aid box, but do we know what it's purpose is? If we took a poll on what we use it for during first aid care, a lot of us would probably mention that it's primary use is for wound treatment.  Nahhhhhh The facts: Methylated spirit is great for killing germs and bacteria, hence it is a disinfectant. However it isn't a choice disinfectant for wounds. It can be used as a disinfectant for unbroken skin e.g. to disinfect the skin before an injection or before a surgery. If it is applied to a wound it would kill bacteria, but could slow down the healing process as it kills the new cells the body needs to help in healing.  Methylated spirit can be used to sterilize first aid tools (scissors, tweezers, etc.) and surfaces that might have been contaminated during first aid care. Don't abuse methylated spirit any longer, use it correctly 👍 #MethylatedSpirit #MethylatedSpiritUseInFirstAid #FirstAidCa

Yay or nay?🤔 Little as these items may seem, they have quite a number of uses in first aid care.  They are generally used to secure dressings (in the absence of a bandage clip) Also for fastening loose ends of bandages and slings They come in very hand in improvisation when the desired tool is absent, but caution and safety must be considered uppermost  #SafetyPins #SafetyPinsInFirstAid #FirstAid #TheFABS  #TheFirstAidBoxShop  #BeFABulouS

Splinters!!! They are mostly little in size They puncture the skin and become embedded  They are fragments wood, glass or even metals Carpenters and butchers often contend with splinters. Kids also, accidentally they could get splinters from furniture, toys, rulers etc.  It's a common first aid emergency that occurs in the kitchen.  Splinters can introduce microorganisms to wound sites. If left embedded in the skin, they could cause an infection. They could cause a bleed. They cause pain Sometimes they are completely embedded and at other times they can be easily grasped with fingers, other times, they need tweezers to get them out. Splinters could have an entry pont and an exit point. At other times they just have an entry point with the other end embedded.  Always take out splinters as they are foreign objects  #Splinters #FirstAid #FirstAidSavesLives #TheFABS  #TheFirstAidBoxShop  #BeFABulouS

Females who pluck facial hairs (from eyebrow and chin area) are familiar with tweezers.  Tweezers in first aid care are used differently.  They are used for  - picking out objects too small to  be handled by the fingers - removing debris from wounds - taking out splinters and stingers Your first aid kit/box should contain them as they come in quite handy when managing splinters, stingers and debris situations  #Tweezers #FirstAid #FirstAidKits #FirstAidSavesLives #TheFABS  #TheFirstAidBoxShop  #BeFABulouS
