如何自己DIY一个家庭急救箱?

While there are a number of first aid kits available for purchase, they often lack some supplies you need or have extras you do not need. Instead of buying the prepackaged version, you can save money and ensure that your kit includes everything you need by creating your own.
虽然有大量现成的急救箱可以买，但是它们经常会缺少你所需要的或者多了你不需要的东西。你可以自己组装急救工具确保里面有你所需要的东西，还可以省钱，而不是去买预先组装好的。

1 Select a small box or bag which is light weight, portable and can hold all of your first aid supplies. Your kit should be waterproof as well, particularly if you will travel with it away from home; however, sealing your supplies inside of zipper baggies is usually all you need to do the job.
1 挑选一个又轻又便捷的而且可以装所有急救用品的小盒子或袋子。你的急救工具箱还必须是防水的，尤其是当你带着它出门远行的时候；不过，你通常需要密封拉链袋里面的用品。

2 Make sure that your kit contains important basic medical supplies. The number of each item in your kit will depend on the size of your family; however, when it comes to bandages, gauze and other lightweight items, the more the merrier. Make sure your kit includes antiseptic wash, medical tape, anesthetic spray or lotion, 4-inch sterile gauze pads, various sizes of ace bandages and adhesive bandages, oral antihistamines, gloves, antibiotic ointment, scissors and tweezers.
2 确保你的工具箱中包含了重要的基本医疗用品。工具箱中每种用品的数量根据你的家庭成员多少而定；而像绷带、纱布和其他轻的用品，就越多越好。确保工具中包含杀菌液、医用胶带、麻醉喷雾剂或洗剂，4英寸无菌纱布垫，各种尺寸的布织绷带和胶布绷带，口服抗组胺药，手套，抗菌药膏，剪刀和小钳子。

3 Keep other must haves in your first aid kit as well. For example, if someone in your family has allergies, the first aid kit is a great place to keep shots or emergency medications prescribed by your doctor. You might also include emergency phone numbers, snake bite kits, ipecac, charcoal tablets or other items in your home first aid kit.
3 在急救包中准备一些其他必需品。例如，如果你有家人过敏，那么你的急救包中很大空间就应该放一些医生开好的注射疫苗或紧急药物。你的急救包中还应包含紧急电话号码，蛇咬工具，吐根制剂，木炭药片或其他东西。

4  Separate your first aid kit into two sections. One section should include all of your basic medical supplies, such as bandages and ointments, while the second compartment should include medications. Again, make sure that everything is kept in zipper baggies.
4 把你的急救包分成两部分。一部分装一些基本医疗用品如绷带和药膏，而另一部分则装药品。再一次要确保所有东西都要用拉链袋密封。
