It is always a good idea to carry a first aid kit; we suggest never buying ready-made kits but customizing it according to your needs

1. 1. Sterile gauze 4 x 4
   2. Set of patches of various sizes including Steri-Streep 
   3. Gauze impregnated with healing agent (such as Connettivina) for immediate dressing
   4. Blister plasters (such as Compeed) larger and smaller size for fingers
   5. Betadine disposable vials
   6. Elastic gauze roll; Elastic bandage for fixation and Tensoplast
   7. Sterile gloves 
   8. Metalline 
   9. Burn and cortisone ointment for insect bites
   10. Sugar sachets
   11. Set of small tools including tweezers for tick removal 
   12. Generic drugs: pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and anti-diarrheal (such as Oki, Aspirin, Tachipirin, and Imodium, unless contraindicated)
   13. Spray for excoriations and bellows cup
   14. Waterproof, soft, protective and capacious kit bag – best to avoid the “minimalist purses” found online
