It depends on what’s in your kit and your familiarity with first aid. The better stocked your first-aid kit, the better positioned you’ll be to treat an injury until emergency help arrives.
Even a small first-aid kit of bandages and ointment can help you treat minor bumps, cuts, bites, burns and other common household injuries. More expansive tools include pocket masks for administering CPR, an oral antihistamine to calm allergic reactions and ankle stabilizers, like an Aircast, to help you get out of a tricky situation after a sprained ankle.
Where should I keep a first-aid kit?
Store your first-aid kit in a clean, dry area that’s easily accessible for all members of your household. If you have children in the house, store your kit in a cabinet or on a shelf that’s out of reach of little hands. You can keep a smaller kit of bandages elsewhere for your children to use on their own.
To cover all bases, the American Red Cross recommends an easily accessible first-aid kit in your home, your car and at your workplace. Given the hazards your kitchen presents, you might want to keep one handy there.
If you’re hiking, biking or away from home or your car, a small kit in your pack can help with scrapes until you can get medical attention.
