Hi
Just a quick question really, I was just looking through one of my first aid kits and have noticed that the expiry date on the plasters was 01/2009. Does anyone know why plasters have an expiry date? Sorry if it seems like a stupid question but I just have no idea why.

because if you eat them after that date they may no longer retain the original nutrition content.Target Savings by end 2009: 20,000
current savings: 20,500 (target hit yippee!)
Debts: 8000 (student loan so doesnt count)
new target savings by Feb 2010: 30,0000 -
thanks for the humour but was actually looking for a serious answer.0

The adhesive degrades after a long time, and although they will probably stick, they will leave a horrible mess on your skin! Believe me, I know as I used a plaster at work that had been there since the year dot, and it took forever and loads of nail varnish remover to clean up my skin:o:beer: My glass is half full :beer:0
