  2. Anti-itch cream (hydrocortisone)
  3. Antihistamine tablets
  4. Tick remover or fine-tip tweezers

  2. Anti-diarrheal medication

✂️ TOOLS & EMERGENCY ITEMS

  1. Medical gloves (nitrile)
  2. Small scissors
  3. Tweezers
  4. Safety pins
  5. CPR face shield (optional but smart)
  6. Emergency whistle
  7. Headlamp or torch (basic safety)

🧼 HYGIENE & INFECTION PREVENTION

  1. Hand sanitizer
  2. Antibacterial wipes
  3. Tissue / toilet paper (sealed)

📝 IMPORTANT EXTRAS (SMART PEOPLE PACK THESE)

  1. First-aid instruction card
  2. Emergency contact list
  3. Small waterproof pouch for kit
  4. Notebook + pen (yes, still useful)

FINAL REALITY CHECK

If you’re missing half of this list, you’re not “traveling light.”
You’re betting your safety on luck.

A first-aid kit isn’t heavy.
Ignorance is.
