                                        Epipen Carriers

                                        Picture
                                        Since the Epipen has been redesigned, I can't speak to the products below. I'm assuming they're working on revising their designs, if necessary! The carrier I currently use is a STAPLES NEOPRENE PENCIL CARRIER.

                                        Importance of carrying and using epinephrine
                                        from Epipen.com.
                                        • In one study of children and adolescents, 10 out of 13 fatal or near fatal anaphylactic reactions occurred outside of the home.
                                        • None of the fatalities had epinephrine with them; all of the non-fatalities received epinephrine before or within 5 minutes of developing severe symptoms.

                                        Speed of potentially fatal anaphylaxis
                                        • It takes only 1 to 2 minutes for a mild allergic reaction to escalate to anaphylaxis.
                                        • The faster the onset of an anaphylactic reaction, the greater the likelihood that it will be severe.
