Recipe
Supplies:
Plastic Freezer bags (� to 1 gallon size)
Water
Rubbing Alcohol
Directions: Add water and alcohol to a freezer bag in a
ratio of 2:1
(2 parts water to 1 part rubbing alcohol or 3 parts water to 1 � parts
alcohol). Add more alcohol for a slushier cold pack. Cold packs can be
stored in the freezer up to one month. Use double baggies for leakage
control.
The cold pack will conform to any body area because the rubbing alcohol
prevents the water from completely freezing.
As with any
commercial cold pack, make sure the skin is covered with a towel prior to
application.
Hint:
An unopened frozen bag of peas, corn, or blueberries is another fast way to
apply a cold pack to an injured area.
