Supplies to clean and care for the small things will also be important in a world where hygene has dropped down.


the number and seriosness of those cuts & nicks will be increasing for the majority of the people - they'll be doing outdoor chores they only did on occasion on the weekends - and chores that are a lot more dirty they did in their entire life >>> like latrine duty ...

what won't be helping is the lack of running water to wash out any cuts - don't compound it by neglecting to sanitize and cover it well >> stock a few pints of betadine - finger cots along with a good supply of bandaids - the $$$ Dollar Stores have tubes of triple antibiotic ointments - rolls of med tape - 4 X 4 gauze pads for the bigger injuries or piece out for the smaller ....
