having outdoor first aid, and regular first aid stuff for work helps. i'm qualified and will be as long as i'm employed as a sparky :P one of the requirements.

in the training they'll tell you that doing something is better than doing nothing, and with the way NZ is set up in reguards to legal action, it really doesnt matter what you do, so long as you do something. even if it's ring 111, direct traffic, hell just hold an umbrella.

DRSABC is a good one to remember
and if they arent breathing, 30 to 2, no matter who (30 compressions 2 breaths)in line with bottom of armpits.

and probably one of the most important things, dont move them if you dont need to

Tigadee is the most prepared, he brings spare undies.

Hope to get some soon for work.

Good thing is to tell people if you have bad allergies.

By the way Im allergic to bees.

Your allergy to bees - do you carry the equipment where we might need to give you a jab?

In saying that my Penicillin allergy is far worse.

Less chance of getting hit by a piece of mouldy old bread (Penicillin) than a bee. I would have thought that you had about 20 mins from the bee sting...

A former acquaintance of mine was on holiday in Europe, bicycling with his wife and children and was stung by a bee.

He died within 20 minutes from a previously un-diagnosed allergy - scary stuff.

Well next time I get stung we will find out. I cant handle the kids antibiotics if they have penicillin.
