Information given here is for the purposes of stocking a first-aid kit, and is not meant as a guide to treatment. If possible consult a physician locally or by radio. In case one is not available have a good medical guide on board. The Ship Captain’s Medical Guide is available in PDF from the UK Department of Transport but of course you need a working computer to use it.http://www.dft.gov.uk/mca/mcga-seafarer_information/mcga-dqs_st_shs_seafarer_information-medical/mcga-dqs_st_shs_ships_capt_medical_guide.htm<pre>Be especially cautious with small children and pregnant women.</pre>
