Actually my first aid kit are two band-aids in my wallet and one small
pkg of Advil.

I think if you round that out with a safety pin, some moleskin, and a
couple of over the counter antihistamines, it would be pretty complete and
not take up much more space. If you think about it, you can always do
without Advil, but the antihistamines might make the difference between
getting out of the bush and to the hospital, and not making it.

I was surprised as hell when I had a bad reaction to a sting in the field,
having never had a problem before. I tuck antihistamines into the first
aid kit in case pollen or something gets to me, but I was damn glad I had
them along.
