What is something that you keep around your house all the time for a "just in case of ER"?

Having an normal band aid/cut/bruise kit got me thinking, we are we not doing this with home made remedies essentials as well?

We have the normal first aid kit, and witch hazel, hydrogen peroxide, and allergy stuff, including calamine lotion. I like to keep lavender oil too as it is wonderful for burns.

I keep pain killers, vapor rub, rubbing alcohol for fevers, bandages of various shapes and sizes,cotton gauzes, olive oil. I also have some home made remedies for warding off colds and flus.

I keep things for bites and small-med size cuts/booboos. I double stock on band aids as I am accident prone myself. I know some still stock up on that stuff (iodine maybe?) that I can not use as it burns bad.

I make sure I keep a healthy aloe vera plant in my kitchen for burns from grease splashes. I also keep Vitamin C tablets and oregano, which is a natural antibiotic.

I would love to have another aloe vera plant but it seems I can not keep them alive in this new state that I live in. And I have always had them every other place I have lived.
