But for those who are more able than I, having this kit around could be good. A while back (a long while, if I'm remembering right) there was a informative thread on first aid kits with which to travel and to have handy in the house. Seems there was "GasX" or something like that, and i'm remembering some form of a "puncture" instrument? Am I remembering right, Listers? Maybe we need to be reminded again of what to have handy. Not only for Bloat. Nature's Farmacy has a bloat kit that comes complete with an instruction manual. The puncture needle is the last resort and should only be used by those knowing what they are doing.
