What's In Your First-Aid Kit?

Having a well-stocked first-aid kit is important so that you are prepared to handle acute everyday ailments. But what should be in your first-aid kit? The contents of your first-aid kit will vary depending on the number of people it is designed to protect, individual specifications, as well as its intent for use. It's important to check your kit regularly to restock items that have been used, and to replace items that are out-of-date.
