Every North Carolina farmer
owes it to himself to provide ade
quate first aid materials and
facilities for the treatment of
minor injuries occurring on the
farm and in the home that may
save a life or prevent serious in
fection, says Prof. David S. Weav
er, head of the Agricultural En
gineering Department, State Col
lege.
Prof. Weaver suggests that a
homemade first aid kit containing
the essential medications and
drugs may serve just as well as
the costly prepared first aid kits.
A tight box, preferably of metal
and similar to a small cash box
or fishing tackle box will serve as
a suitable container for the kit.
Minimum requirements for the
kit are: Rolls of adhesive tape of
varying widths; sterile cotton,
swabs and sticks; sterile white
cloth for large bandages and
tourniquets; matches; ointment for
burns; tincture of iodine; boric
acid; tincture of merthiolate;
tincture of benzoin; liquid greeiw
soap; and rubbing alcohol.
Suggestions for treatment are
as follows:
Bruises and scratches and after
removal of splinters, apply an anti
septic, then a sterile bandage.
For puncture wounds — deep
slivers or nail punctures—apply
tincture of merthiolate, bandage
wound and go to a doctor.
For small cuts—cleanse skin
around the cut with liquid green
soap or benzoin,* then cleanse skin
with alcohol and apply an anti
septic to the cut with a clean
applicator.
