Also, you can buy first aid stuff at any age. The age limit is usually just for things like pain relief gels or any tablets.

Just in case you don't know what first aid things it is good to have this may be worth a read from one of the First Aid FAQs;

It’s a good idea to keep a stock of things so you’ve always got what you need there when you cut. An example of what you’d need is as follows;
Non-Adherant (non-stick) Wound Dressing Pads Melolin
Adhesive Dressing
Tubi-grip bandage (UK) that are the right size to hold dressings in the area you cut or an ACE Wrap Bandage (USA)
Medical Tape (Micropore / Zinc-Oxide Tape)
Steri-strips/ Butterfly stitches/ Closure strips
Anti-bacterial cream
Sterile Gauze
Wound wash


Pharmacy’s/Drug Stores/ many supermarkets should sell everything listed here. If you don’t see it ask someone who works there.
