💜💜💜 With the crazy changes in temperatures as well as the season, please remember to carry your puffer & spacer. We would love to see spacers in every firstaid kit in Australia 🇦🇺, Does your's have one??? 💜💜💜

💜💜💜 Does your first aid kit have a spacer? With the high rates of people who live with & experience asthma we would love to see them automatically added to kits. As you can see from the pics the difference they make is so valuable. Check you first aid kit & add one! 💜💜💜
💜💜💜 Never underestimate the severity of a head injury or concussion. Our first aid for a casualty with a head injury includes assessing & managing of the airway & breathing, whilst restricting spinal motion until expert medical help arrives. 💜💜💜
#BReadyfirstaid#concussion
💜💜💜 A change in the way we manage anyone under 1 if suspected of swallowing a button battery. Use Jam not honey ! If you have someone over 12 months of age and don't have honey use jam. Honey and jam won't fix the problem,it is still an emergency but this will buy time 💜💜💜
💜💜💜 We know it's still cool but keep reading! Do you have freeze spray ready for the warmer months? This maybe a good time when you next visit the pharmacy to grab some. It is the best way to kill ticks to minimize mammalian meat allergies post a bite. 💜💜💜

💜💜💜 With the cooler environment in QLD at the moment & the potential of warming up around a fire or fire pit, be vigilant & cautious for our little folks. Cool, cover & seek medical assessment. Don't break blisters or pull anything stuck to the skin. B-Safe & B-Ready 💜💜💜
💜💜💜 A casualty may not have all of these signs but that doesn't mean they are not experiencing a stroke. Keep an👁 out for balance issues or a blurring or decreased vision in one or both eye. 💜💜💜
