-Fractures
-Burns
-Hypthermia
-Frostbite
-Skin rashes
-poison ingestion
-abdominal pain
-strains, sprains
-how to splint

I would be so greatful to anyone who again, is VERY thourogh and helpful in first aid for this merit badge! If any other scouts need help to eearn MB's or advance in rank, feel free to e-mail me.

Thanks again, and remember to "Be Prepared"!

hey, I'd help but it is a lot of info. besides you need to learn it for yourself. after all this is first-aid. that means that you are expected to take someones life into your hands and keep him alive/treat him until help arrives. if you can't do that because you earned the badge but never learned how to do it then you are endangering someone else. trust me i know. not just preaching. I'm a combat medic and I'm expected to do just that. help someone until i can get him to a medical doctor that can provide definitive care. i also teach Combat Life Saver courses to army personnel. they do everything that you just asked, and will probably be tested harder than you will. I'll let you know that if i ever find one of my student's studying in this way i will bring the hammer of god down on their head so fast that they won't know what hit them.

I'm certified in First-Aid, but I'll be darn if I am going to type it all for you on here. Just log on line and got to First Aid for all your answers.

Do you have any idea how much information you are requesting? It would take me hours to thoroughly type it out...the best idea for you would be to check out a book on first aid at your local library. All the info you need would be right there.

Do the principles of scouting support using Yahoo Answers instead of doing the leg work yourself?

Fractures--usually means a broken bone, so u really need to keep the person calm down and put ice on the pain til they get to the hospital
Burns---Always carry aloe vera plant with u. The real plant is instant relief of all burns.
Hypthermia----make them sip warm salt water, they are dehydrated...melt B12 under tongue
Frostbite.....fill an empty drink bottle with hot water and put in a sock and put on the frostbite to thaw it out...aloe vera is good also
Skin rashes....take benedrly--and try olive oil on rash, use aloe vera if itchy rash
poison ingestion.....drink plenty of milk or water..apple cider vinegar and honey water too
pain in the abdominal.....could be appendix--call 9-11 rescue
crampin pain....put hot water bottle on it or magnets off the refrigerator
strains , sprains...remember the word RICE.... rest,ice,compress,elevate
how to splint----use a stick and rope or tape to splint the leg or arm straight
