Most people would agree that a comprehensive Travel First Aid Kit is a must for a hardcore backpacking trip, especially if the trip involves visiting remote areas where medical care is not easily accessible.<\/p>\n
But even if you\u2019re just going to relax on the beach, attend a conference, or gamble in casinos, you should still consider bringing a First Aid Kit. You never know when you might need to treat a wound from stepping on a dirty piece of broken glass on the beach. Or maybe those creamy desserts at the conference lunch table had been sitting out just a little too long and anti-diarrheal medication could save you from some potentially embarrassing moments during your big talk. And the Aspirin and oral rehydration salts in your trusty First Aid Kit could prove invaluable in curing your hangover from partying too hard at the casino the night before!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a good list of items to include in your basic Travel First Aid Kit, as recommended by the Canadian Government<\/a>, the Canadian Red Cross<\/a> and other experts<\/a>:<\/p>\n Remember that sharp objects, such as scissors and tweezers, must be kept in checked baggage if travelling by air.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a list of some medications you may want to bring on your trip.

Also, leave all medications in their original, labelled containers to avoid mix-ups, and keep medications in your carry-on in case your main luggage gets lost.<\/p>\n You may want to include some of these other items, depending on your destination and the nature of your trip:<\/p>\n Finally, here are some important documents you should include in case of medical emergencies:<\/p>\n You never know when you might need some medical attention while you\u2019re away from home!
