I have also been recently reminded that I need a box of 4x4 AND 2x2's in my FAK. I am also going to add more OB pads since I am now down to 1 large and 1 medium Battle Dressing (Vietnam era).

I have recently found that many people are developing Latex allergies. I am going to start carrying some paper towels to wrap between the gauze bandages and the ACE bandage that I normally use to both secure the gauze bandages and to add pressure onto the wound when treating a limb injury.

The paper towels are helping with my DW's Latex allergy by preventing contact between the skin and the Latex, quite well. She is recovering from surgery on the R. knee and L. elbow. By limiting the stretching that I do while applying her dressings, I also reduce the amount of airborne Latex Proteins that get into her breathing passages.
