Why We Created This Blog
Medical emergencies can happen anytime, and knowing how to respond can make a difference. Many people have a first aid kit but aren’t sure how to use all the items inside. Others face an injury and don’t know which medical supplies are best to treat it. That’s where we come in!
Our goal is to provide clear, practical guidance on:
- Treating cuts, burns, and sprains
- Administering first aid for eye injuries, wounds, and more
- Using medical supplies effectively
- Preventing common medical emergencies
With over 200 first aid related articles, our blog is a hub of useful information. Need a quick reference? Check out our Free First Aid Guide, where we break down injuries and treatments in an easy-to-follow format.
Common First Aid Myths – Busted!
There’s a lot of old wives tales out there about first aid. That’s why we’re committed to providing trustworthy resources based on medical best practices. Let’s debunk some common myths:
Myth #1: Put Butter on a Burn
Truth: Butter can trap heat and make burns worse. Instead, run cool (not icy) water over the burn for 10-15 minutes and cover it with a clean, dry cloth.
Myth #2: Tilt Your Head Back During a Nosebleed
Truth: Tilting your head back can cause blood to run down your throat, leading to choking or stomach irritation. The correct method is to lean slightly forward and pinch your nostrils together for about 10 minutes.
Myth #3: If Someone is Having a Seizure, Hold Them Down
Truth: Never restrain someone during a seizure. Instead, move objects away, place them on their side, and cushion their head to prevent injury.
Myth #4: CPR Always Revives a Person Instantly
Truth: Unlike in movies, CPR doesn’t always immediately restart the heart. However, performing CPR significantly increases survival chances until medical professionals arrive.
