7 tips for your first aid kit on the go

Your key to a healthy adventure! Discover the seven essential tips for your perfect travel first aid kit.

1.     Check your medications: Make sure you have enough prescription medications and check their expiration dates.

2.     Basic First Aid Items: Pack bandages, disinfectant, band-aids, and painkillers to be prepared for minor injuries.

3.     Keep motion sickness in mind: Are there any boat trips or road trips planned on your trip? If you are prone to motion sickness, take appropriate medication with you to relieve unpleasant symptoms.

4.     Don’t forget sun protection: No matter where you go, sun protection is extremely important to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. UV rays penetrate even through gray cloud cover.

5.     Insect repellent: When traveling to areas with mosquitoes or other insects, an effective insect repellent is essential.

6.     Pack allergy medication: If you suffer from allergies, remember to pack appropriate medication for allergic reactions.

7.     Document important health information: Carry important health information, emergency contacts, and medication schedules in one document in case you need medical attention. Thanks to today's technology, you can also save these on your cell phone.

Remember to take individual needs and travel destinations into account when putting together your first aid kit. You can get travel information about your destination and possible vaccination recommendations in Germany from the Foreign Office. Many family doctors also offer vaccination advice. Because if the Covid pandemic has taught us anything, it is the importance of our health.

Stay safe! 💊✈️🌍
