Did you know that in 95 percent of all emergencies, bystanders are the first people available to help on the scene? At home or out and about, a first aid emergency can be a highly stressful event.
Remembering how to perform first aid steps and proper care necessary in an emergency can not only be nerve wracking for professionals, but also for parents and siblings untrained in first aid or CPR.
We all know having a first aid kit in our homes is a necessity, but having one that provides an audio recording to guide you through the proper steps can be vital.
Intelligent First Aid kits are designed by medical and educational experts to assist in providing rapid and accurate first aid care in the event of an injury. The Talking First Aid™ kit from Intelligent First Aid is the only product of its kind that provides first aid supplies with audio instructions to help you in an emergency. With the press of a button, an audio begins to talk you through the steps of treating anything from a bee sting to performing CPR while waiting for help to arrive. It’s like having a doctor right there with you!
Intelligent First Aid strongly believes in the importance of families having not only a first aid kit, but also the right one, that’s why they are giving Blissfully Domestic readers a chance to win the most intelligent safety & first aid kit available.
The Kit comes with Talking Care Packs for Breathing/CPR, Bleeding, Shock Care, Head & Spine Care, Bone Care, Eye Care, Burn Care, Bites & Stings Care, Basic First Aid. It also comes with a full color guide book, the Talking product manual, and a flashlight/book light, and all the supplies you need in a first aid emergency. Basically, this kit will tell you what you need to do in all of these emergency situations!

From the FAQS I learned this:
Do any of the medical products in the Care Packs have expiration dates?
The only items with expiration dates are the eyewash in the Eye Pack, sting relief in the Bites & Stings Pack and the antibiotic ointment in the Basics Pack. You can locate these dates on the item itself and on the outside of the pack. When the item expires, it is strongly recommended that you replace the entire Care Pack to ensure you have an updated, complete pack.

This is such a wonderful idea. For us, having kids, cuts are the most common. I’d really love to win this for my parents. Recently, my mom who walks with a walker, had fallen and cut her leg very badly in the middle of the night. She takes a blood thinner and was bleeding very badly. My father, took towels and had her cover her leg. He called me (I live a few houses away) and I called 911 and ran over to the house. She had to go by ambulance to the emergency room for them to stitch up her leg.
This First Aid kit would be wonderful for them.
Thanks so much for this giveaway.

What a great giveaway!!! I’d LOVE to win this!
Falls are most common in senior households
I learned: It is strongly advised that first aid kits become a staple of all homes, schools and workplaces. The most at-risk for not having a first aid kit are homes or locations with children or older adults, as those age groups are the most prone to injury. Another prime target for first aid kits are residents of communities that can’t provide immediate access to emergency services. Regardless, the reality is that first aid kits should be readily available despite the situation or location. Safety must always come first.
The most common injury in this house is very bad scrapes. Packed stone driveway. It grips well, but doesn’t stop feet getting tangled. Then it grips skin well.
What a great product. Thank you for the fun giveaway!
I’d say falls are most common.

Oh, I was once again reminded (from visiting the website) that all households should have a first aid kit.
Ours is woefully understocked . . . I need this.
I am a mother of a toddler so he is constantly toddling and falling.That is our most common household accident.
I would love to win this great giveaway! I actually really need it! My son is a typical, high energy, into everything type of boy!
I leanred that everyplace, home work and school should all have first aid kits
I want one for my car
In our household the most common injury is scrapes/cuts – long gravel driveway…
Most common accident is falls. This would be great to have with three kids in the house.
FAQ pg.: children & older adults are the most prone to injuries.
Subscribed.
I would say the most common accident is falling in the home.
i couldn’t find the answer to what the most common accident is – but i’d say falls or scrapes?

I learned:
Are first aid kits approved for Flexible Spending Account reimbursement?
Yes. First aid kits and supplies are approved FSA items.

I think falls are probably the most common household accident but my most feared is choking. I am always so nervous about my little ones choking. It seems like no matter how many times I pick up or vacuum there are always little things to be found (especially from the bigger kids).
Great giveaway! This product would really put my mind at ease!!
Children & older adults are the most prone to injuries.
I think cuts and scrapes are very common injuries.
I’m going to have to say falling, at least in my age range.
In my house I would say small cuts are the most common. Enter me please.
Great product, thanks for letting me know about. In our family falling is the most common, but if it’s me… burns, I tend to not use proper oven mitts…
Falls are certainly the most common in this house with a wobbly 11 month old. I also am concerned about bathtub incidents even though she is never unattended there.
I would guess that the most common household accidents (for seniors) would be falls in the home
One common mistake in first aid treatment: when covering a bleeding wound with gauze to stop the bleeding, keep adding more gauze as needed, but don’t remove the old gauze – leave it there! Removing the old gauze starts the bleeding anew and you defeat your own purpose in stopping the bleeding.
For children, I think the most common household accident would be concerned with ingesting harmful or even poisonous substances in the home.
Something very interesting I learned in the FAQ is that when treating an eye injury, it is important to cover the uninjured eye so that the injured eye rests because I guess that moving your good eye will cause you to move the injured eye.
Falling is the most common household accident.
cuts are most common
Falls are #1
Finger cut while chopping veggs
Falls are most commen. Thanks for the chance.

Falls in the bathroom seem very common.
My kids fall…A LOT! We try to make sure everything they need is at a low level, and I even hook kitchen chairs, so they’re harder to pull out and use for climbing. Yes, that’s the culprit…I have a climber! lol
the most common accident in our house would be cutting yourself with a knife!
ITs scary for the kids to see that happen to their parents. this kit would be wonderful to have at home.

I know that a first aid kit is one of the essentials i would want if i got traped someplace.You always need one any where you are.Even if you are putting something in the fridge you could bump you head or something can fall on your foot.
Wow, this sounds like a useful product!
The most common accidents in our household are cuts and bruises, due to running into stuff or falling.
Our most common accident is definitely bumps/bruises from small falls. However, we had a major fall on our stairs from my Mom last year. Luckily she did not need the hospital but it was scary when it happened.
Around our house the most common accident is paper cuts! I swear I get one on a daily basis and go thru gallons of antibacterial ointment and bandaids.
cuts scrapes and bruises usually
typically our most common accidents involve cans being dropped on toes or tripping over our own feet
Seems our most common accident is burns. Hubby and i do alot of cooking and we still get burns.

Wow, I want one of these badly! I am an SAHM to a 1 y old boy and b/w his bumps, scrapes and bruises, my husband’s cuts and my burns this would be one heckuva life saver in my house.
My aunt fell down while cleanning in the bathroom, she cut her knee open on a screw. It got very swollen and finally went down after a week.
I think everyone (especially people with children) should have one of these!
I work at a ministry for the homeless. The residents have all types of accidents but the most common in the dorm is falling out of the top bunk bed.
The most common accident here is cut fingers or hands. It’s happened all to often and a couple of times at least it required stitches.

I am super super terrified of bees…and am terrified what will happen with kids b/c my first instinct is to run and hide…so maybe talking me through bee stuff would be good..lol on a more serious note it looks like hold a lot of information and could be very helpful! I think I’ll share this on my fan page:) Thank you! (hope I win!)
the most common household accident in our house is a bumped head. with 2 year old triplets it happens multiple times every single day!
I like that it can withstand high and low temperatures.
our most common accident is definitely bumps, bruises, cuts and scrapes. but i am always worried (particularly for one of my daughters) about what to do if something more serious were to happen!

It seems like I can’t get thru a day without someone bleeding on something. Be it a papercut, a knick, a stub, or a slice, someone its always leaking the red stuff. This looks like a pretty darn cool product, thanks for the giveaway!
Bruises and cuts.
With my kids, it’s skinned up knees and elbows.
bumps, bruises and the occassional burn in the kitchen (it was a nasty steam burn two nights ago while pouring up tea)
I have found that the most common house injury is falling on the hardwood floors when kids are running in their socks.
I though this was signifigant:
Another prime target for first aid kits are residents of communities that can’t provide immediate access to emergency services. As a 911 Dispatcher in an area that covers some rural areasm,I know this to be true & I would love to give this to someone, great tools to handle a crisis.
Thanks for the giveaway
Falls rank pretty high in my house!

At our house it is bump, bruises and cuts for the kids and it is burns for me because I guess I get distracted when I cook and forget that a hot pan looks the same as a cool pan and I shouldn’t grab the hot ones with out potholders.

I learned that we could use the Healthcare Flex Spending account that we have to purchase first aid supplies. This is great to know because it always seems like there is money left over at the end of the year and we definitely could use a new first aid kit.

our most common accidents is the grandkids always scrapping a knee or elbow..

Minor burns and paper cuts
