First Aid Kit Reminder

If I get a bloody nose, please don't put a tampon in it.

I would prefer just to spit the blood out of my mouth if my mouth is bleeding.
Now, if I am halfway up a route, and a severe attack of diarrhea were to occur, a tampon would sure be a great thing to have. From now on, instead of fouling myself and the route I am on, I will always keep a tampon at the ready. Perhaps taped to the rim of my helmet.

for whats its worth- a penny can be applied to a wasp/bee sting and if taped or similar and left for about 15 minutes it has been known to ease the discomfort and swelling- this is the field first aid tip post correct?

does anyone know websites that have info on dog specific first aid kits? i would rather build my own than buy a prepackaged one, my guess is it is way cheaper.
