The Extractor Insect & Snakebite Poison Kit

First to recommend

Description

In the backcountry or the backyard, insect and snakebites range from unpleasant to life threatening. The Extractor treats them all. A simple plunger push generates 750 millibars of powerful suction to instantly pull toxic venom of all kinds out of the body. Pain and danger vanish without scalpel cuts or delay.

Pocket case includes four cups for different bite sizes, safety razor to shave body hair if needed, alcohol and pain-relief pads, bandages, and a mini-guidebook for treating wounds including those from snakes, bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, fire ants, ticks, scorpions, mosquitoes, spiders, flies and marine life.

Brown Felt Pads for under furniture!

2 people recommended this item

Description

I use these because I have finished hard wood floors. There are already scratches from before I started using the felt pads. No more screeching noises as chairs are slid under the dining room table! The slightly uneven dining room table is now even! The heavy recliner is now moved about with ease! These little pads are great!

EMETROL - 4oz

First to recommend

Description

When you can't keep ANYTHING down, this stuff will do the trick. It's important to be able to at least get some fluids in when you are ill, so that your body doesn't become dangerously dehydrated. I will tell you from experience that this syrup will stop "the heaves". I mean, if it needs to come out, it will, but this will stop dry heaves and calm nausea. It is also alcohol-free, antihistamines-free, salicylates-free, and caffeine-free. (via target.com)

Morton Salt

First to recommend

Description

Gargling with a glassful of very warm saltwater (not salty, just a few sprinkles of salt), does wonders for a sore throat. Do this a least once every few hours and you'll will be amazed, if not simply relieved.

Stash English Breakfast

First to recommend

Description

This is my all-time favorite black tea. It has a bit of a kick and is perfect "Southern-style", with lemon and sugar.

"By the 1700s tea at breakfast was part of the English lifestyle, having replaced the customary practice of drinking ale with breakfast!

The prototype for English Breakfast was developed over a hundred years ago by the Scottish Tea Master Drysdale, in EdInburgh. It was marketed simply as "Breakfast Tea". It became popular in England due to the craze Queen Victoria created for all things Scottish (the summer home of Victoria and Albert was the Highland castle at Balmoral). Tea shops in London, however, changed the name and sold it as "English Breakfast Tea".

English Breakfast has become a favorite of tea drinkers worldwide and is the tea most often enjoyed during English High Tea. It is a blend of fine black teas, often including some Keemun tea. Many tea authorities suggest that the Keemun tea blended with milk creates a bouquet that reminds people of "toast hot from the oven" and may be the original source for the name.

Stash English Breakfast combines top quality black teas from premier tea gardens. We blend bright Ceylon tea from Sri Lanka, malty Assam and smooth Nilgiri teas from India and full bodied Keemun from China. The result is a very distinctive, strong, rich tea. It may be enjoyed with milk or lemon (but not in combination, the lemon would curdle the milk). It also makes an exceptional iced tea. This stimulating tea is the perfect morning wake-up drink."
