Her symptoms sound exactly like those caused by an allergic reaction." 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... -A *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Sep 14 1999 - 10:36:01 PDT
