Thanks for the reply. As mentioned, these are just my preps, not the household preps. The home medical kit has items for more severe bleeding such as a SWAT tourniquet, compressed gauze and Israeli bandages.

Again these are just my preps, not the household preps. The food items I listed are what I have in my room and consume regularly.
