I ran across this list while doing some researach and while not all of it unusual some of it most people don't think of... like me...since our boys are older and there are no small children our home I would not think about Ipecac Syrup or Activated Charcoal. Oh and paper cups...do you have paper cups in your first aid kit...I don't. And I don't have sugar tablets in my first aid kit either, why well we have never had call to use them before. So I am adding them to my "to get' list.
