Lately quite a number are raising concerns about having bouts of sore throat, fatigue and fevers. The degree to these range from mild to severe. Covid-19 talk seemed to be chilling in the back burners and kazaaaaam, we hear of a new variant..Omicron 🤦‍♀️ We hear its highly transmissible and that the signs and symptoms seem less debilitating. Top on the list are  Sore throat  Runny nose  Fatigue  Headaches  Sneezing  Fevers Now if you suffer a regular sore throat, it might just be that its a case of Omicron! Let's not ditch preventive measures (whether vaccinated or not) Face mask Social distancing Hand sanitizers  Hand washing  ......And the whole 9 yards #Omicron  #SoreThroat #StaySafe #TheFABS #TheFirstAidBoxShop  #BeFABulouS

A white cross in a green background is the universally accepted symbol of first aid. So whenever or wherever you see this, know that a first aid box/kit is available or that first aid care is available.  Over time, a few variations have sprung up 👇👇👇 Green cross on white background  White cross on red background  Red cross on white background  Any of them would pass as repping availability of first aid care or/and first aid tools So, in a medical emergency, if you happen to see any of these, you can do your happy dance, cause help is near 💃💃💃 #FirstAid #FirstAidSavesLives  #FirstAidSymbols #FirstAidSigns #TheFABS #TheFirstAidBoxShop #BeFABulouS

Being kind  enough to render help to someone who has suddenly become ill or injured is being humane Remember the story of the good Samaritan? When we render help, we should also get the assistance of the EMS of the locality we are in (if need be) We shouldn't leave a casualty unattended until professional medical help is accessed  We should comfort the casualty and let them know they will be ok #FirstAid #FirstAidSavesLives  #bekind  #TheFABS #TheFirstAidBoxShop  #BeFABulouS

Any time you want to give first aid to a casualty that is conscious, you must take permission before you help Let them know who you are, ask if you can help, let them know what you think is wrong and explain what you want to do. Once consent is given, go ahead and render first aid If the person is unconscious,  then consent is implied. Go ahead and render first aid #FirstAid #FirstAidSavesLives  #TheFABS #TheFirstAidBoxShop  #Be FABulouS

In giving first aid, you have to look out for you. While keeping safe, ensure you are protected from stuff that could cause you harm. PPEs (Personal Protective Equipments) are highly recommended e.g. disposable gloves, CPR mask, face/nose mask  During first aid, you can become exposed to body fluids from the casualty or even poisonous substances.  PPEs protect both the casualty and the first aider as it prevents cross contamination  Always, always don on PPEs when administering first aid  especially if body fluids  and poisons are in the mix #FirstAid  #personalprotectiveequipment  #TheFABS #TheFirstAidBoxShop  #BeFABulouS

Whenever first aid is being administered to a casualty, we are trying to achive 1 or 2, or even 3 of the following 👇 🎯 to preserve life 🎯 to prevent a bad situation from worsening 🎯 to promote quick recovery  The plan is not to become a casualty! Safety is therefore a priority.  There are sad cases of people getting electrocuted while trying to rescue someone who has suffered electrocution 😔 Or trying to rescue someone that is drowning and the rescuer gets drowned as well 😔 Every time we want to administer first aid or embark on a rescue mission,  ensure the environment is safe. Watch out for danger or potentially dangerous elements.  If possible remove the danger (e.g. turn off the mains before rescuing a victim of electrocution,); if someone has suffered a snake bite, if safe, remove the victim from the reach of a snake; if the floor is wet or slippery, be careful so you don't slip and fall etc. Do not endanger yourself
