Skill Section: Wilderness First Aid

Skill 6/17: Blisters

Learning Intention: To equip you with the knowledge to avoid and treat blisters.

Success Criteria: By the end of this session everyone should be able to: Describe what steps to take to avoid and treat blisters when walking. Some of you may be able to: Apply zinc oxide tape to hot-spots.

Activities: 1.Brainstorm/Powerpoint: - What causes blisters? - What can you do to avoid them? - How should you treat them? 2. Practical - Zinc Oxide tape - Blister pads

What is a blister?

 Your body’s way of protecting a sore area from further harm by creating a cushion of fluid

What causes blisters?

 Friction between your skin and your sock or boot due to… - Poor fit - Poor foot preparation

Preparation

 Try out your boots (and socks) before a long walk  If boots are loose, tighten laces or wear additional socks  If boots are too tight, get bigger ones  Apply Zinc Oxide tape to known hot-spots beforehand

Zinc Oxide tape?

 Available from chemists  Should be a roll (or two) in your 1 st Aid Kit  Doesn’t rub off or take skin away (unlike plasters!)  Helps conduct heat away from hot spots

On the walk

 If your feet start to hurt, STOP and address the problem  Adjust boots/socks  If you do not fix the problem, it will get much worse  Apply tape to hot-spots

Treatment

 If you do get a blister… - Don’t burst it until you get home - This risks infection & greater damage to skin

 If it bursts by itself… - Use antiseptic cream - Apply ZOx tape and/or blister pad - If possible, let it dry out overnight
