Over the counter EpiPen
Going over the camping first aid kit and having a discussion with my wife. Following a run in with a wasp nest she had a lot of swelling, doctor said it's nothing to worry about. This got me thinking though. I like to keep a pretty well stocked kit and think having an EpiPen would be good to have on hand. I had talked to my doctor about it a few years ago and he said it wouldn't be an issue to give me a prescription but mentioned that it could make my life insurance cost go up if I was prescribed one and also said the shelf life is pretty low.
Is there any way to get one over the counter?
It might seem like a pointless thing to keep if no one is known to be allergic in the party but would be nice to have if needed.
