Prepare for summertime injuries with a well-stocked first-aid kit

The official start of summer is approaching, and a lot of families are making plans. While you’re having fun, remember that although you can’t always prevent summertime injuries, you can help treat them by having a well-stocked first-aid kit on hand. From cuts and scrapes to sprains and bee stings, be prepared with a pre-made first-aid kit—or create your own.

Pediatrician Dr. Pilar Bradshaw with Eugene Pediatric Associates says even the simplest first-aid kit should contain Band-Aids, antiseptic wipes and ointment.
