Do you travel with first aid kit?

I have a first aid kit at home, but don't bring one with me when I travel. That's actually a good idea. When I get some cash, I'll invest it in a smaller kit for travel purpose. I also take my rosary with me when I go places. Unfornately, when I changed it into another purse a few days ago, I saw it broke.

hi cecillecarmela,
while we travel we don't actually carry the whole first aid kit with us,but we do take some medicines for the diseases we might get during a travel,like physical injuries,cold,fever or diahorreah.we never no what might happen when so its good to carry at least some first aid tools.

Depending on the needs of the trip. If you can predict, there is no one to bring some items that will need. Than you must buy it.

Around 3 years ago, while we were at church, my dad missed a step near the parking area, and he banged his head in the road.. He smashed his glasses and got a cut in his nose.. We were in panic because we didn't have a first aid kit in the car.. After that, I bought first-aid kits for our cars, our house and our apartment.. And it was really a big help.. You'll never really know when you'll need a kit like that. When I travel to far places or I commute, I always have a small bag for medicines and band-aids.. And that helps too.. you'll never know when somebody needs something.. And with my little bag, I have helped a lot of people.=)

I would only bring along with me paracethamol incase if I get head ache and apart from that I would not carry along with me a first aid kit. Always confident that I will be able to get it if anything goes wrong. By the way, Thanks for post, i got a strike in my mind on how important is it to travel with a first aid kit.

I've never traveled outside the states before. So I've never had to take any first aid kits with me while i am traveling. However, I do have a first aid kit at home. But I guess if I traveled, at least once every six months, I wouldn't take a first aid kit. I don't think I know anybody who does take a first aid kit. IF you travel by plane, I would think they would have their own first aid kits, so in case you do have some sort of injury they would help you.

We never bring a first aid kit with us because usually where ever you go you aren't too far away from a pharmacy of some sort. I of course bring my medicine with me or like aspirin because when I travel by air I get ear aches and sinus problems. But other than that, I don't buy a first aid kit. I don't even have a first aid kit at home, just some band aids and neosporn...but then again it's only my boyfriend and I. When we have kids I bet I will have a first aid kit around.

Shamefully - I don't. I probably should. I don't do much travelling, and I'm pretty careful when I do - so it hasn't been necessary as of yet. But I think it's a great idea, especially if you have the room & especially if you're driving.

Hello cecille, yes I do travel with my first aid kit .. simply because I'm a doctor and sometimes I go into situations where I should give help, and I should do it right

Well my first aid kit is like 12 years old, came with my old 87' mercedes, does that count? No really, I have used it once when I cut my finger and I was shocked to open it and find band aids still in good condition. It fits into a little compartment under the back window. If it was not for this car having one I would not have really considered having one in my car until, probably, it was too late. I found the waterproof take the most useful.
