In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Include packets of antibiotic cream, such as Neosporin, in your kit. You can use this ointment for sanitary wound care. It also doubles as a petroleum-based lubricant if you need to apply it to areas being chafed by backpack straps. Zinc oxide cream is another option to treat spots being rubbed raw. If you start to feel a burning in your feet, lightly applying antibiotic cream can help to fight off a possible fungal infection. This can be a particular problem when hiking in humid locations. Packing a small tube or packet of hydrocortisone cream is also a good idea. It will help to treat skin irritations. A 1 oz. bottle is sufficient for a single hike. Read the instructions carefully to see if you need to dilute the iodine with water in order to treat wounds. Iodine's antiseptic qualities help prevent infection. Iodine can also be used to purify water. The rule is generally ten drops per quart of cloudy water. Let it sit for 30 minutes and it should be safe to drink. Be aware that not all people react well to iodine. Days before you leave, you might want to test it on a small patch of skin. Iodine is also not generally recommended for use by pregnant women or those with compromised immune systems. Chapstick or a lip lotion is great for any type of hike. If your lips crack open, they can be prone to infection. Vaseline is also helpful. You can use it to moisten wounds. You can also apply it to your skin to prevent chafing. You need a tape that can serve many purposes. It needs to be durable and it should maintain its stickiness in varying conditions. You can always go with standard medical tape, but it is not very versatile. Duct tape is a good choice. Fold it over on itself until you've created a small tape packet that can be unfolded for use. If you don't want to mess with scissors, paper tape is good as you can tear it by hand. However, it doesn't always stand up well to wet conditions. Some wounds are so superficial that a bandage is simply a hassle. Other wounds are so deep that you need extra adhesive help prior to receiving stitches. Many different types of liquid bandages are sold over-the-counter at your local pharmacy or grocery store. Tightly roll the gauze and it will take up minimal space. Triangular, roll, and ace bandages should all be included. Include an assortment of sizes so that you can respond properly to all medical situations. Two-inch and four-inch pads are the best and can always be cut down if needed. It is best to pack a mix of adhesive and non-adherent bandage options. Butterfly closure strips, the 4-inch variety, are good to pack for small wounds and cuts. Moleskin is a very popular choice amongst hikers. It is particularly useful in shielding blistered skin. Moleskin comes in synthetic skin sheets that can be cut as needed. They adhere to your skin, providing a barrier. Pack 2-3 whole sheets in your kit. These wipes often come in individual sealed packages made for quick and easy use. Rub one of these wipes on your hands before treating yourself or someone else. Use them to clean a wound area as well. Trauma scissors are a good option due to their blunt end. You can cut near a person's body without injuring the skin. Foldable scissors are preferred by some people as they take up less space. When choosing your tweezers, look for metal ones with a good sturdy tip. This is an unusual item to pack but it can be very helpful when cleaning out a wound. It's small and can make a significant difference in infection prevention. Barrier gloves are an essential if you need to render assistance or if you require care. Surgical rubber or non-latex gloves are the best option. Try on the gloves to make sure that they fit well before you include them in your kit.
Summary: Make a space for topical medications. Include a small vial of iodine. Pack a type of protective lubricant. Choose a type of adhesive or tape. Include a form of liquid bandage. Pack gauze pads, bandages, and Band-Aids. Add alcohol prep swabs or wipes to your kit. Include scissors and tweezers. Consider adding an irrigation syringe. Include a pair of medical gloves.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Many couples meet in college or graduate school. It's a place where people have things in common, spend time near one another, and get a sense of one another as workers and friends. If you've already gone to school, or are unable to return, try taking extension classes in subjects that interest you: cooking, foreign languages, dance, or business. Not only is school an excellent place to meet a potential mate, but getting an education can increase the longevity of your future relationship. Couples with college education have lower divorce rates than their less-educated peers. Your mental and physical health influence who is willing to date you, and for how long. Get regular exercise and a full night's sleep each night. Eat regular meals, healthy snacks, and avoid soda and refined sugar. Visit the doctor regularly. Take particular care of your mental health.

Pursue the things you want in life: a job you like, friends who treat you well, hobbies you enjoy, and good communication with your family. Take care of your emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing. Treating yourself well demonstrates emotional stability, an extremely attractive characteristic. Friends are the mostly likely people to introduce you to your life partner. They are also the people who will help you through the rough cycles of dating, who will support you when you find someone you like, and who will be your companions when you are lonely. It's hard to date if you're isolated, and it's hard to come off as confident and attractive if you're lonely and desperate for companionship. Be good to the friends you have. You don't have to be a social butterfly. Keep the social commitments you make, reciprocate favors, and tell your friends what you appreciate about them.

Get an education. Take care of your health. Take care of your appearance. Love yourself. Nurture your friendships.
