As we continue assessing our prepping needs, first aid and medical supplies remain a gaping hole. I had been struggling a bit with the thought of spending money for items that (thankfully!) we don't use on a regular basis and that usually end up expired in the trash can ... until I began reading about pandemics and sheltering at home.
