I'm not sure if there are restrictions on how much aspirin you can bring. I've had people tell me all kinds of stories about how they brought it. Only one person said they had their luggage searched at customs and were questioned as to why they had so much aspirin. They replied that it was a donation for sick children to the Angel Notion clinic in Playa and they were allowed to bring it in. Others have told me that they put bottles in each piece of luggage as well as carry on...others have said they were never questioned...others have said they were never stopped. The last time I went I took 16 cartons of paper medical tape and no one asked me any questions about it.

Lavonna has also said that they can use all kinds of antibiotic cream and hearing aid batteries. I'm not sure yet what size of hearing aid batteries, I'm still trying to figure that one out. They don't need clothing at the clinic...having said that I've also brought some extra clothing and given it away to some of the workers at our building and they have been very happy to receive it.

The one thing that they could really use is Precision Glide needles (syringes) #27 but I've really been nervous to bring those thinking they would be mistaken for drug use.

I'll let you know if I find out info about the hearing aid batteries.
