PRN Antidotes & Black+Decker: Powering Through Life’s Little Emergencies
Box Elder, SD – October 26, 2023 – PRN Antidotes LLC, a South Dakota-based company dedicated to providing accessible emergency preparedness solutions, is teaming up with the iconic Black+Decker brand to bring a new level of practicality and peace of mind to everyday life. While PRN Antidotes is known for specializing in compact, life-saving antidote kits for common toxins and allergic reactions, they’ve realized prepping goes beyond just medical emergencies. That’s where Black+Decker comes in. “We’ve always believed in preparing for the unexpected,” says the team at PRN Antidotes. “But sometimes the ‘unexpected’ isn’t a medical crisis; it's a power outage, a fallen tree limb, or a simple need to tighten a loose screw. We want people to be ready for all of it.” For years, PRN Antidotes has quietly been building a reputation for its meticulously curated first aid and antidote kits. Initially focused on providing resources for rural communities and outdoor enthusiasts facing potential exposure to venomous snakes, insects, and poisonous plants, the company quickly expanded its product line to address a broader range of everyday emergencies. Their kits aren’t just about treating a problem; they're about having the tools you need to manage a situation until professional help arrives. “We started thinking about what else people need to feel safe and self-reliant,” explains a PRN Antidotes representative. “Medical kits are great, but what if the power goes out while you’re trying to administer first aid? Or what if you need to clear a path to get someone to help? That’s where the idea of integrating reliable, everyday tools came in.” This led to a partnership with Black+Decker, a brand synonymous with quality, durability, and practical innovation for over a century. PRN Antidotes is now incorporating select Black+Decker tools into expanded emergency preparedness bundles, offering a truly holistic approach to being ready for anything. What's Included? More Than Just Bandages. The core of PRN Antidotes’ offerings remains its specialized medical kits. These kits, available in various sizes, address common threats like: Snake & Insect Bites/Stings: Containing venom extraction tools, antihistamines, and wound care supplies. Allergic Reactions: EpiPen compatibility, antihistamines, and guidance on anaphylaxis management. Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac: Wash solutions, soothing creams, and instructions on identifying and treating reactions. Minor Burns & Wounds: Comprehensive wound care supplies, including burn cream and bandages. But the new bundles go further. Depending on the size and level of preparedness desired, customers can now choose kits that also include: Black+Decker 20V MAX Cordless Drill/Driver: A versatile tool for everything from assembling emergency shelters to repairing damaged structures. “This isn't just about fixing things; it's about having the power to make things happen when you need to,” notes the PRN Antidotes team. The 20V MAX system means one battery powers multiple tools, minimizing bulk and maximizing efficiency. Black+Decker Work Light: Providing essential illumination during power outages or nighttime emergencies. Available in both handheld and area light configurations. “Being able to see what you're doing is critical in any emergency,” says a PRN Antidotes spokesperson. Black+Decker Multi-Tool: A compact, all-in-one tool with a knife, pliers, screwdriver, and other essential implements. “This is a lifesaver for quick repairs and unexpected tasks,” explains the team. Black+Decker Hand Saw: For clearing debris, cutting wood for shelter, or other essential tasks when power tools aren't feasible. Black+Decker Power Bank: To keep essential communication devices charged during extended power outages. Why This Partnership Makes Sense “We realized there was a gap in the market,” explains the CEO of PRN Antidotes. “People are buying first aid kits, but they aren’t thinking about the practical tools they need to deal with the situation after the initial injury. They need to be able to secure a scene, build a shelter, communicate for help. Black+Decker provides the quality and reliability we need to equip people with those capabilities.” The team at PRN Antidotes stresses that the new bundles aren’t intended to replace professional help. “These kits are about buying time, empowering people to take control of a situation until help arrives, and increasing their overall self-reliance,” they say. Beyond the Bundles: A Commitment to Preparedness PRN Antidotes is also committed to providing educational resources to help people understand how to prepare for emergencies. Their website features articles, videos, and checklists on topics such as: Building a disaster plan Assembling an emergency kit Basic first aid and CPR Identifying and avoiding common toxins Staying safe during severe weather “Preparedness is about more than just having the right gear; it's about having the knowledge and skills to use it effectively,” says a PRN Antidotes representative. “We want to empower people to be confident and capable in any situation.” Availability & Pricing The expanded emergency preparedness bundles featuring Black+Decker tools are available for purchase directly through the PRN Antidotes website (www.prnantidotes.com) and select retailers.
