Good info.

I have a separate kit for thorn country with medical grade tweezers and Ichthammol. Also for base camp Arnica gel. The black drawing oil actually works sometimes within a few hours. I have had thorns that have taken months to remove so I like to get them as quick as possible. The Arnica works well for any bruises, wounds or pain. It can make even bad bruises heal in a couple of days.

I am also going with the synthetic skin type band aids. They don't get as dirty and seem to work faster. They work on blisters where sometimes mole skin seems to increase the pressure on them.
