Health Departments across the country are encouraging residents to assemble H1N1 flu kits to keep in their homes. It seems this advice is good for everyone, so I am posting the list that the Utah Health Department has provided so anyone can assemble a kit for their home. These kits will help prevent the spread of the virus and also help those who are ill to convalesce more comfortably at home. A H1N1 kit should contain:
* Disposable gloves
* Liquid soap
* Paper towels
* Hand sanitizer (Alcohol gel hand cleaner with at least 60% alcohol)
* Thermometer
* Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and / or Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil)
* Fluids for replacement (juices, Gatorade, Pedialite, teas, soda, soup, Jell-O)
* Cleaner / disinfectant for surfaces (Clorox Wipes)
* Masks (a regular one for the sick person to wear; one with a plastic eye shield for the caregiver if the sick person is a child and refuses to wear a mask)
* Phone numbers for physicians, pharmacies, and potential caregivers for young children
These "FLU" kits are a good idea to have in your home for any kind of FLU.
If someone in my home gets sick I would want to have the things already on hand
to make them more comfortable
I AM SURE YOU WOULD ALSO.
