Medical Supplies for Humans
While it’s important to keep your pets and animals healthy, it’s also important to look after yourself. Everyone is bound to get scraped up or cut at some point in their life, and careful wound care with the right supplies can help prevent getting a disease or infection. It’s never a bad idea to be prepared, so think about keeping some medical gauze rolls or bandages stored away in case of an accident.
Should an accident occur, be sure to follow correct medical procedures by sterilizing the wound, wrapping the exposed area thoroughly and securing the bandage so it does not come loose or allow any contaminants to enter the wound. If you are worried about infection, zinc oxide can be applied as an antiseptic and astringent for superficial wounds and abrasions. It’s great for humans as well as large animals like cattle, horses and sheep. Each person and injury is different, so while these steps can help prevent infection, it’s best to follow the advice of your health care professional.
