Here’s how to use it.
Sometimes allergies are just annoying, but they can also be very serious and life-threatening.
For some, ingesting or even inhaling particles of an allergen can cause a dangerous immune system response calledanaphylaxis.
It typically comes in something called an EpiPen.
An EpiPen is essentially a shot of adrenaline that can, and has, saved lives during anaphylaxis.
This is why its essential to dose someone experiencing anaphylaxis with epinephrine.
