It might contain various pills. Apart from that, I suppose sticky tape
could gum up, or there might be some worry that sterile packaging
could have become compromised with age.
Open it up, take out anything dangerous, and give it to the grandkids
so they can play doctors and nurses. And treat yourself to a new one. |
