Heh, heh, old safety pins, sample packs of various commercial analgesics,
swiss army knife, some reeeeeaally old condoms... ;)
Seriously, I'll go through it and make a list of the herbal stuff. It has
changed over the years as I become more natural/health conscious, but still
contains sunscreen (BullFrog), toothpaste, hotel soap bars, you know, the
usual sort of thing that accumulates. We do always carry the bug spray (I'm
using it now after several mysterious bug bites appeared on my back after a
weekend in the mountains...), various supplements like b-complex, zinc
lozenges, and digestive aids like lecithin, digestive enzymes (used to be
heartburn medication like Di-Gel, but no more!), fiber, and Super Primrose
Oil for analgesia. I work in a health food store, so I carry a lot of
commercial stuff, like 'Hayfever, Allergy, and Sinus' by Nature's Way. Best
decongestant I ever took, but since I gave up dairy, I don't need it much.
Going to new event sites will bring on the sniffles sometimes, though.
I will go through it (it needs cleaning anyway) and come up with a better
list of the natural remedies, and let you know.
