Dont think you need a prescription but without PBS they are expensive ~ $120 ea
theres kids and adults versions and they expire in 12 months I think

Two brands now Anapen and Epipen, Anapen lasts longer I think.
In certain branches of military EVERY person carries one.

Anaphalaxis can get anybody, usually thats the first sign many have that they have a serious allergy.
Kids seem to be more embarrassed about it than adults and often wont ask or just decline food offered.

Our neighbour is  allergic to nuts and we  often have nuts on the table for nibbles so I didn't realise the smell could cause a reaction. How far away can a person be to nuts to still have a reaction ?

My nephew is anaphylactic to nuts and eggs

Certainly changes the simple things in the beginning, birthday cake, always had to take his own, surprisingly at times the children at parties were more aware of cross contamination risk, then some of the adults.   

My wife is allergic to something, still don't know what, we have an epipen, and have used it, she came to and said I don't need the epipen, I've said you've had it

Simple things like going out to dinner and asking what oil they cook with too.. some places were mega offended when Lorraine asked what they cooked in.. .then we explained, some were ok and apologetic, others we just left.

We actually had a chef come out to us and advise that the oil he cooked in was OK, but he also cooks fish in it. We ordered a Schnitzel for my son. He said he didn't want to run the risk of cross contamination. Ordered a ham & cheese pizza instead. Most places are pretty good about it these days due to the number of people that are allergic to different things.
