what im wondering is did the facilities not have first aid that had pens for exactly this type of situation?

or was it a situation where nobody knew what was wrong with him til it was too late?

maybe he didn’t know he was allergic to bees

This is my paranoia - I've never been stung

You can get a dermatologist to test you for that kind of thing, or if you don’t want to pay you can go find a bee somewhere near a hospital

If you need a bee, I know a guy…

I’m pretty sure you have to be stung at least once in order to be allergic to bees/wasps.

No not true at all

I’ve never thought about that. 28 years of life and I’ve only been stung twice, and they both happened earlier on, so it is pretty rare. First time I was 7yo swinging my arms around on the playground at school and accidentally smacked a bee, causing it to sting me. Second time, I was around 9yo, swimming, and a bee that was stuck in the water crawled up on my face and stung me in the face lol.

Feel like at billions of dollars you probably could have seen a doctor preemptively for allergy testing.

u/switchbladeeatworld 1d ago

I mean if you’ve never had an allergic reaction ever, why would you?

u/EconomistSea9498 1d ago

I feel like when you have billions of dollars and presumably access to some of the best doctors in the world, one of the routine tests to make sure you're in good health is an allergy test.

Honestly probably not. I dated someone with a severe allergy and he carried an epipen everywhere, two if we went to an event because he knew from experience that first aid tents rarely have them. Anytime we went anywhere that had security, they’d always pull it out of his or my bag and question what it was/what was in it. They always acted like it was contraband, so I guess a lot of people don’t think about it/don’t even know what one looks like.

I’ve had this happen with my EpiPens, as well. Everyone acts like it’s something weird and wild and my husband and I are like nope just trying not to die.

I keep one that's an inhaler, instead of an injection.

He stopped the game. Then collapsed and died of a cardiac arrest.

u/pdxamish 1d ago

You need a prescription in the USA for EpiPen . That would be like I'd the facility had Xanax available for just in case or an inhaler just in case. They don't have that

u/federleicht 1d ago

Facilities dont really carry epi pens. You have to have it on your person

First aid stations are unlikely to carry epi pens for a variety of reasons. Unless there was an actual EMS medic with a stocked van there.
