Some products are not readily available at natural health stores, but may be necessary for caring for an elderly or ill person, or to prevent infection. An online medical supply store can be a good source for such necessary products.
Some medical supplies are useful to have on hand, such as latex exam gloves (or latex-free for sensitive individuals). Select powder-free gloves. Exam gloves are useful to have on hand when treating staph infections, for example, or any skin infection of unknown type, in order to protect the person applying treatment. They can also be worn by immuno-compromised or potentially weakened persons when performing tasks that may otherwise expose them to potentially infectious conditions, such as cleaning bathrooms or even kitchen surfaces where raw meats have been processed. They are also useful in handling and treating animals who may be carrying parasites or have infectious conditions. If you carry a first aid kit (and you should), it is a good idea to include several pairs of latex gloves, which should be worn when treating anyone who has a bleeding injury, particularly strangers or others who could potentially be carrying infections you may not be aware of. Useful for preventing a wide range of infections and infestations, gloves are a wise precaution in many circumstances.
