I have a tube from my grandma's medicine chest. It is in a metal tube with no date on the crimp. Tube is red on top and white at bottom, and about 5 inches long and 1-1.5 inches wide. It has a twist-off black hard-plastic cap. The ointment is ivory colored and thick; I would say thicker than desitin. I don't know if the original state was different, because this stuff has to be about 30-40 years old in my best guess. Front of tube: ACTIVE INGREDIENDS Oils of Spearmint, Bay, Wintergreen (Syn.), Salicylic Acid, Lanolin, Zinc Oxide, Carbolic Acid (Phenol) 0.44%, Ortho-hydroxyphenyl Mercuric Chloride .056%. Passive base: Petrolatum, Paraffine. 1-1/4 oz. Avoir. KIP, INC. Los Angeles, California Back of tube: FIRST AID BURNS-SCALDS SUNBURN CUTS, BRIUSES Apply directly-or on clean cloth to injured surface. Change dressings often. Made in U.S.A. "KIP" Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. I hope this is helpful. I have a tube from my grandma's medicine chest. It is in a metal tube with no date on the crimp.

How should one treat an injury to the cornea?
If an injury to the cornea is suffered there are some very basic steps that can be taken as first aid. Firstly it is vitally important that any object stuck in the eye is not removed without professional medical assistance. The main step that should be taken before attending the emergency clinic is to flush the eye with cold water for about 15 minutes.
How long is a first aid certificate current for?
It depends on what institution and what country you obtained the certificate in.
In New Zealand, a St John First Aid Certificate expires after three years. If the certificate is renewed within three months, you can attend a refresher course and get it re-awarded. If it has expired for more than three months, you will have to complete the whole two day course again.
It is paramount that the certificate is kept up to date so that you are familiar and kept informed with new techniques in first aid. For example, the Resuscitation Council of New Zealand changed the cardiopulmonary resuscitation ratio of compressions to breaths from 15:2 to 30:2. Updates like these are important if you are to maintain your level of proficiency.

How do you sprain your ankle doing something really easy like a handstand or a cartwheel?
It could be possibly because you may not be used to doing stuff like a handstand or a cartwheel. If you are not careful, you might invert or bend your hand or ankle easily. For a ankle, I'm not sure you could get it other than letting your ankle do whatever it wants. Basically, what I am trying to say is that your feet could invert somehow doing something like this. Falling is more common in my experience.
Which is the appropriate first-aid response for a person suffering from heatstroke?
The appropriate first-aid response for a person suffering from heatstroke includes moving them to a cooler environment, preferably indoors or in the shade. Remove any excess clothing and apply cool water to their skin, or use ice packs on areas like the neck, armpits, and groin to help lower their body temperature. Offer cool fluids if the person is conscious and able to drink, but avoid caffeine or alcohol. Seek emergency medical assistance immediately, as heatstroke can be life-threatening.

Because there are some potentially dangerous items in first aid kits. Also, if a child does get one, they may damage or lose items that are in it which would be needed in an emergency.
Do cavities cause health problems?
yes. If you wait too long to get a cavity filled, then it can infect other parts of your body and cause you to die. For instance, I saw this on the news and one boy never went to the dentist in his life and he was like 12. He had a bad cavity and it went to his head. Yup that's right I said it.His HEAD. So if you have a cavity and you've had it a while, get it fixed ASAP. If you just got it don't sweat it. It takes a while for them to erupt and you'll probably have an appointment coming up. Hope this helps!
What salt does is absorb the water from wounds and pimples, which keeps bacteria from growing.
It's a bit painful, and is good for keeping a cut from getting infected, but it doesn't usually speed healing time. And I definitely would not put it on anything larger than a cut. Hydrogen peroxide is easier to work with on larger wounds and does the same thing.

Field Dressings.
Tylenol tablets.
