Activated charcoal for traveling & life’s little emergencies

Activated charcoal for life’s little emergencies The holidays are upon us and folks are traveling by land, air and sea in great numbers and I hope that they are taking their activated charcoal with them for life’s little emergencies and holiday tummy upsets!
