Preps for the Flu or Cold
March 15, 2010, Submitted by: Ken TweetHaving just spent the past several days down with some sort of flu (or nasty cold accompanied by a fever), it made me think about how important it is to be prepared with enough remedies and medicine (along with the food storage survival preps).
Fortunately, Lauren and I had stocked up with enough of these remedies so we did not have to run out to the store while sick (we both had the same flu thing).
The point is, however long your food storage supply is designed to last, similarly plan for an adequate supply of cold and flu remedies and medicines. Trust me, when you need it, you will be very glad that you have it!
A few specific suggestions of cold and flu remedies to add to your storage preps.
- Aspirin
- Ibuprofen (Advil)
- Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
- Acetaminophen – Aspirin (Excedrin)
- Acetaminophen – Decongestant – Cough Suppressant (DayQuil, NyQuil)
- Decongestant (Sudafed)
- Cough Suppressant (Robitussin)
- Sore throat lozenges
- Antihistamines
- Vitamins (at least Vitamin C and a Multi-Vitamin)
- etc…
