Hello! I have a few first aid questions, and have been doing research and got a few different answers, so I thought I would throw it out here and see what responses I get. I am getting ready to live on the road with my boyfriend in our mobile glass studio. He is a glass artist, and I want to be prepared if he gets a burn wound or severe cut. So first question, what would be the best way to treat a 1st degree burn on the hand? More than likely this injury would occur from picking up hot glass or accidentially running a hand through the flame, so it would be painful, but probably nothing worse than 1st degree. And second, If he were to get any deep or large cuts from broken glass what would be the best immediate treatment? I have a basic first aid kit (from wal-mart) that has band-aides, some TAO, and a few other basic supplies, but what other supplies would you put on a MUST HAVE list? Not just stuff for burn or cut treatment, but things as nurses you would want to have on hand at your home at all times. (FYI: its just me and my boyfriend, no children, if that helps narrow the list =) Thanks! and ANY advice would be much appriciated! KW
