Your first-aid kit
Pharmacist Laura Mandos of the University of the Sciences suggests:
•Bandages and Neosporin for cuts. For larger injuries, bring tape and gauze.
•If the water isn't safe, saline solution is a sterile wash.
•Hydrocortisone cream. Provides topical relief for poison ivy, poison oak, or stinging nettles.
•Benadryl. Good for allergic reactions — and in a pinch, it doubles as a sleep aid.
•Imodium. Your go-to solution for diarrhea. (For an upset stomach, try ginger ale.)
•Prescription meds. Pack extra, in case you get stranded.
