Summer time - Injury time: The most important thing for a trip to the countryside
There's a lot going on in the summer in terms of heat, scratches and co. What should be considered? The children never come home without Macke? Here's a brainstorming of things that may not be in every pharmacy show.
Good tip (abroad): travel app with translation function in case of illness. And a first aid app for the destination, often from the respective KV or the German Green Cross.
It has nothing to do with pessimism if you always have your first aid kit ready to take you along! Take it with you, if it is more than just a walk and you want to be prepared.
A copy of all vaccination cards, with all - including the first and empty pages, each well zusammengetackert or in an extra shell! Write down there also always, when who had which infectious diseases and how exactly they were diagnosed!
For z. B. Holiday is better to take originals, depending on the country. Otherwise, a copy is completely sufficient!
As the most important elements of first aid equipment is skin-friendly plaster, small vial non-burning disinfectant (eg Octenisept), and a self-adhesive bandage (but nothing with strong latex allergy). The usual other components of the first aid kit can be read everywhere.
Preventive with anti-tick remedies Spray feet, lower legs and shoulders.
In addition, a water bottle for spraying, as a cooling and protection against sunstroke.
If your children are completely exhausted in the sun, have a bright red head, and are strangely quiet, give them a drink! Doctor's visit will then be necessary.
What is a sunstroke?
Overheating of the body with temporary disturbance of temperature regulation. This can be dangerous. The serious sign is apathy and drowsiness. Those affected can no longer balance their fluid balance by themselves through the - lacking - feeling of thirst.
So that it does not come first to the sunstroke:
Wet your hair, or your hat, and as an air conditioner for your wrists and ankles, sweatbands or cut socks that are wet and wrinkled are ideal.
Sun protection for skin and head is required! Drink anyway.
Which wounds belong to medical treatment?
- Everything that worries.
- Hands and feet are always special because infections spread there very quickly over the tendon sheaths.
- Deep puncture wounds or even just suspicion of "deep", and that's because bacteria and debris fall into the depths, and there can then initiate infection by such particularly dangerous pathogens that do without oxygen.
- Dirty abrasions need to be cleaned, depending on the size u. U. even under general anesthesia. Because otherwise dirt pigments perpetuate by waxing. So here is thought of lasting beauty!
What about ticks?
Whoever can, may remove them as early as possible. If not, then please search as fast as moderate step, somebody who can. You have to act fast, so that you get rid of the animal, before it sets its own "suction-flush mechanism in motion".
However, please do not panic, do not cheat or stifle. And also do not overfill the animal with disinfectant, then it separates in death agony from unfavorable secretions.
If you are wondering why disinfection should be omitted, the answer is:
Because in this situation, the crawler animal with its suction tool did not first disinfect the tool before it pierced your skin. So, as long as she is small, the more rest one has, the more comfortable and comfortable Zecki feels and then makes a cozy nap.
Ticks move on the body, so drum always searches for hidden corners. And do not scold, if your partner has such a beast in the most sensitive place, he or she was because of that Not inevitably naked in the forest!
Wasp swallowed?
Stay calm, check the situation and call the caregiver, press the emergency call 112 or the emergency call button.
Did the cattle sting near the glottis of the inner "neck"? Then please quickly to the nearest hospital, no, much better call the ambulance.
Here the most important rule:
- Never hang up before you get permission from the control center!
One last tip: stuck in your car cover of the vehicle interior, the 112 and the 5 W's.
In the case of an emergency call, the caller must speak as clearly as possible, or answer loudly:
WHO calls?
WHERE needs help? ADDRESS
WHAT has happened ? AUTOUNFALL, OHNMACHT, WESPENSTICH
AS many injured approx.
WAITINGuntil you get permission to hang up
Have fun, stay healthy!
