What’s Your #1 Most Overlooked Prep Item?

Reading through so many gear lists, I keep noticing folks skip over basic hygiene supplies – not just soap, but things like nail clippers or a sturdy comb. In long-term scenarios, infections from something as simple as a torn nail can become a real problem. What items do you think people consistently forget or underestimate? I’d love to hear what’s on your list that rarely gets mentioned but is essential in your book.
 
Tooth care gets ignored so often—everyone remembers soap, but hardly anyone lists floss or extra toothbrushes. Dental issues can get bad fast if you can’t keep things clean, and tooth pain is miserable. I stash dental wax too (braces flashbacks!) in case a filling or crown pops off. Wondering if anyone keeps a favorite for DIY first aid for teeth—clove oil maybe?
