Anaphylaxis

Dude must be rolling in dough. Those pens aren’t cheap.
They used to be about $100 for a two pack. Not cheap, but not as outrageous as now.

Obviously after the first couple times he would build up a tolerance.
Two epi pens?

It's really sad that this web site had to exist.
Fuck capitalism.

Funny but I dunno if I buy it tbh, using an EpiPen alone is a medical emergency requiring medical attention. It's not something you can just shake off.
Being on your parents' insurance is its own safety net

Yeah, it keeps you breathing until you can get help hopefully. I don't have allergies, though my dad does and carries and epi pen, but I don't think I'd trust my body to just get over it by the time the epinephrine wears off.

IIRC there's also generics that are significantly cheaper. They don't have the same applicator though, so insurance usually doesn't cover them.

After those experiences, I totally understand why the drummer for the Muppets band is Animal. That chaotic beast basically embodies the spirit of drumming.

this is unironically my plan for tomorrow night.
Im allergic to shellfish and I discovered imitation crab from a meme (fittingly on Lemmy) which is only like 5% actual crab.
However, my allergy started as a kid and just got worse and worse till I eventually couldn't eat it at all anymore, it's been like 5 years.
Since we don't know if the allergy got to deadly levels in that time, I have to be around an epi-pen when I eat it.
My brother in law has one, so I'm going to his house after work.I'll keep you updated 🫡
edit, update 1: finished work for the day. headed to brother in laws house in about an hour! super excited.
edit 2: im so upset.
they were frozen last night so I actually left them to thaw overnight. I mentioned to my sister about how people said to microdoce it, so I only warmed up 1 in the microwave with some butter just in case I had a bad reaction.
When I ate it the texture was super chewy and slimy almost, not very fun. The flavor was hardly the real thing, and the worst part: IT GAVE ME A HEADACHE.
I am so distrought. My hopes were so high. it let me down:((I might try microdoceing a quarter before bed or something for a couple weeks. Since it is only a headache I feel like I can work myself up to bigger parts - if I can sleep through the headaches that is.
at the end of the day It was a nice try and I'm glad I tried it

My Dad is allergic to shellfish. I'm not but hadn't eaten any in years when I had a shellfish pasta dish a few months ago and felt high for hours after.

Maybe... don't take the risk? If you wanna know how allergic you are, there are tests for that.
Don't play with fire, friend. Fake crab isn't worth dying for.

I'm probably wrong, but maybe microdosing could help you not die from 5% crab. But you gotta do it with a doctor, and it can be expensive. On the upside, you could get so sick of eating crab that you won't need to worry about your allergy again.

Also I read somewhere that an EpiPen works in like 95% of cases. There is a small but existing chance that it won't work and you just die from anaphylaxis.

Wait. There's crab in immitation crab meat? I though it was just some variety of white fish or something.

That way they can sell it as Crab Product rather than the much less appetising Crab Flavour Fish Product.

Allergists can work magic now with micro dosing. My kid's peanut allergy is just gone.
If you have the means and the desire, it's called LDA (low dose allergen) therapy. It's sometimes also called SLIT (sub-lingual immuno therapy). There's probably differences. I'm not a doctor.
