My First Aid Kit

I was in CVS the other day and saw the glucose gel sitting on the shelf next to the glucose tablets so I'ld say it would be safe to carry with out refrigeration at least until you open it any way not sure if it would require refrigeration after that.

As always I don't advocate carrying anything you don't know how and when to use. Epi pens fall under that category. They also require a prescription, are expensive, and have an expiration date. I'm not very flexible on that rule but you don't always need to listen me.

As for allergic reactions to mastisol, I have no doubt it's possible but have never personally seen it.

Bought a basic first aid kit for use this summer, thanks for all the great information. I now know how to augment my kit for this summers use!

Some of the posts on here are scaring the hell outta me. I appreciate all the "This is my daypack kit/1st aid pouch/ninja gear because it gives me ideas for things I might not have though about(especially the ninja gear). The problem is there are too many people that think "Oh, he has one, I need one too". This isn't the case, ESPECIALLY with 1st aid kits. Use common sense and if you don't know what it is for or how to use it...YOU DON'T NEED IT. You are going to hurt yourself or someone else through misuse. Prime example...What if 556MP had been out with someone who THOUGHT they knew what they were doing rather than someone who did. 1st sign of blood said person throws a tourniquet on him. He could have lost his hand from lack of bloodflow if it wasn't used properly. If I recall all that was used was a pressure dressing. Please, and I speak to myself with this plea, take proper 1st aid courses to learn the hows and whys instead of guessing or doing what you saw on YouTube. Some classes are expensive but there are places that give this training for free. Please don't hurt someone by "trying" to help. Just my $0.02.
