- Specialized training for first responders is essential for effective handling of rare CBRNE incidents, but skill decay can occur due to infrequent exposure.
- A study was conducted with 90 first responders where one group received mobile training videos before simulated disaster scenarios, while the control group did not.
- Results showed that the intervention group performed significantly better in scenarios involving explosives and chemical nerve agents, highlighting the effectiveness of just-in-time mobile training resources.
Benzyl alcohol lotion 5% (BAL 5%) is a non-neurotoxic topical head lice treatment that is safe and effective in children as young as 6 months of age.
