Why the hate towards EpiPens?
I have a severe peanut and tree nut allergy, meaning if I eat any product / a product that is contaminated with it I can go into anaphylactic shock. I see so many people calling people will allergies / epipens “obnoxious” or “over-worrying”. I also see servers at restaurants “assuring” me that a food is “nut-free” just for their menu to say it may contain nuts. I don’t think these people understand, this is more or less equivalent to poison for us, and yes, we do have to carry around our “antidote” (Epipen) everywhere. Even in the most managed kitchens, mistakes (cross contamination) can happen and we don’t want to take a risk. So please stop calling us “entitled”, “obnoxious”, etc. We are not.
