What is the appropriate first aid for someone having an allergic reaction to 
shellfish in a remote area? Is this the kind of thing that preventive 
medicine could be carried for-Something like an epi-pen can be carried for 
beesting allergies? I would be interested in knowing this if it is a fairly 
common occurance. Obviously the best prevention is not eating shellfish, but 
sometimes its hard to resist...
