“Danger: A splinter in your thumb

Action plan: First, cut a square from a banana peel and put it white-side down on the splinter. Then cover it with a bandage. The enzymes in the peel will draw out the splinter.

No banana? Spread Elmer’s glue on the splinter, let it dry and peel it off.

Danger: Heat exhaustion

Action plan: Your internal cooling system doesn’t work as well as you age, so if you’re feeling dizzy or light-headed and your skin is clammy, those are sure signs you’re becoming overheated.
