Gas prices are on the rise, but that won't stop millions of Americans from hitting the highways this vacation season, beginning with the Memorial Day weekend.
No matter where you and your family are going or how you will get there, the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) wants to remind you to keep safety in mind. A little time spent familiarizing yourself with the contents of your First Aid Kit may ago a long way in keeping your family healthy and safe.
"One important way you can prepare to respond to many common medical emergencies is to keep a traveler's first aid kit in your vehicle," said Dr. Frederick Blum, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP). "But you have to know how to use each item in your kit, otherwise you spend valuable time reading instructions rather than responding to the medical emergency."
ACEP wishes you a safe travel. Obtain a complete list of recommended items for a Traveler's First Aid Kit, or a personal medical history form on ACEP's web site www.acep.org.
