Hazards of Geocaching First Aid

Bring a first aid kit. It seems that when we go Geocaching someone always gets a scratch, scrape, or cut. It’s just part of getting out into nature. But when it happens it’s good to put something on it to protect it from getting dirty and infected. Your first aid kit can be small and should have loads of band aids and some antibiotic ointment, perhaps some alcohol wipes. My family got me a kit for my birthday that even included a snake bite kit. My wife is certain that I am going to trip over a snake someday.
