How could I have forgotten these?

I forgot, in all the postings about FAK's and BOB's etc, one of the most useful, but rarely used, pieces of gear. Tea bags. How many of y'all carry these in your kit? They are great for reducing swelling and sting discomfort and the tannic acid has been recommended as an emergency treatment for styes and pinkeye, etc. Just another random thought I decided to throw out for y'all.

Yup...my first experience was catching a basball on the right eye after my dad ran over it with a mower. I learned what it meant to get my stuff out of the yard before he mowed.
