be sure to add superglue to your first aid kit. it was especially important back before obamacare, when a set of stitches could cost a month’s wages (and, if you worked for minimum wage in a restaurant kitchen, was a recurring need). superglue is a painless way to close even fairly large tears in the skin. cleanliness and antibiotics are usually also necessary as well, though antibiotic salve applied locally is often enough.
