Many people suffer from severe allergic reactions and at this time of year the potential for wasp and bee stings is a real problem. Those who know they have life-threatening reactions often carry an auto-injector device, such as an EpiPen, but if you have never had to use one, the instructions given to you when it was prescribed can be hard to remember. It is worth ensuring that you check that your EpiPen is in date and remind yourself how to use the device.
ALK-Abelló, the manufacturer of EpiPen provides excellent resources including a reminder service for the expiry date of your EpiPen, and information on how to use the EpiPen.
