Even when we try our best to be careful, minor accidents can happen. For example, a person may burn themselves while cooking something on the stove, pull a muscle while cleaning an apartment, or simply have a bug bite. These minor injuries often require the use of a first aid kit, which is a box filled with supplies and equipment for treating minor illnesses and injuries. From a simple headache and the common cold, to splinters and scrapes, first aid kits can help people find relief quickly.

Here are some items that commonly appear in first aid kits:

• Thermometer

• Instant cold packs

• Burn gel

• Aspirin

• Hand sanitizer

• Gauze

• Antibiotic ointment

• Tweezers

• Over-the-counter antihistamine

• Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream

• Latex gloves

• Bandages

• Aloe vera gel

Once a person has a kit together, it should kept it in a readily accessible location in his or her Alachua, Florida, apartment, such as a hall closet or bathroom cabinet, so that it is easy to find and retrieve when it’s needed.

At One 51 Place, our apartments feature professionally designed color schemes in beige, taupe, or gray. Plus, they come equipped with modern appliances in bisque finishes, spacious pantries, walk-in closets, and nine-foot ceilings with crown molding.
