.... but also - I have a google calender account - I put a reminder in there to "ping me" when stuff was going to go bad

Butterfly bandages - I'll go out on a limb here and suggest you're better off with wound closure strips and a wound treating system. . . .

just googled ipecac, and you don't want to know what came up! But I will look into getting some, if they have it at the drug store.

Pediatricians once recommended Ipecac be kept in the home as a ready emetic for use in cases of accidental poisoning. Current guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics, however, strongly advise against this and in fact recommend the disposal of any syrup of Ipecac present in the home. Many toxicological associations have also issued position papers recommending against its use as a first-line treatment for most ingested poisons because:

There has been no evidence that syrup of Ipecac actually helps improve the outcome in cases of poisoning.

Administering syrup of Ipecac can delay administering more effective treatments, such as activated charcoal and/or antidotes.

The effects of the Ipecac itself can be mistaken for the effects of the poisoning.

Accidental overdose of Ipecac can result when administered in the home.

A 2005 review by an HRSA-funded scientific panel concluded that vomiting alone does not reliably remove poisons from the stomach. The study suggested that indications for use of Ipecac syrup were rare and patients should be treated by more effective and safer means. Additionally, Ipecac’s potential side effects, such as lethargy, can be confused with the poison’s effects, complicating diagnosis. Ipecac may also delay the administration or reduce the effectiveness of other treatments such as activated charcoal, whole bowel irrigation, or oral antidotes.
