is copper sulfate something you keep in your first aid kit?

I saw on the tv show 'The Incredible Dr. Pol', which is about a vet in Michigan that he swears by copper sulfate as a wound treatment to dry up wounds & aide healing. do you keep it on hand? I saw a big one gallon container the other day (bigger than I would ever use) for $85 dollars.

I don't keep or use copper sulfate, so I can't comment on that particular product. I will say that if you want a product that, I swear, cures practically anything, try Nu Stock.
It's only three ingredients, sulfur, pine oil and mineral oil. It's very affordable...less than $15 for a 12 oz. tube. I refer to it as a miracle in a tube. I was very skeptical when I read the testimonials and thought it couldn't actually do this. It does!

I kept copper sulfate crystals for a while but it was mainly to add to sheep minerals before they started stocking goat minerals in my area. Never used it for wounds :/
