Stock Tip and First Aid checklist

I figured since I am already supporting the makers of childhood First Aid products (Like the makers of Band-Aid, Neosporin and Burnjel), I better figure out how to invest in their respective stocks and get some of my money back.

Jarrod gets at least one bump, bruise, knot, scratch or scrape a week. It's only Thursday and I think we hit a record 4 accident related blemish.

And then those pesky mosquitos love to munch on the poor child's head...maybe cause he insists on playing in the pockets of standing water that are hidden in our backyard. I guess that's what he gets for disturbing a larvae breeding ground! Ugh. Poor baby.

How does that old Trini saying go....All dat in it! BOY DAYS!

Now I just need to check to see who makes the following items in our Household First Aid Kit:
