Re: [Paddlewise] Bee Survival (Allergies)

Hey all,

just a short note. My mother discovered that she has developed an 
extreme reaction to bee stings. As I occasionally fear for my 
mortality, my doctor gave me a prescription for an EpiPen. It is a 
little auto-injector of epinephrine that I keep in my first aid kit. 
The pen is good for any allergic reactions (bees, bugs, deadly flying 
stinging plants (OK, those would be bees too I guess)), and even if 
not necessary, will not have any adverse site-effects if used on 
someone when I am just pissed off at them ("Hey, get moving -- 
JAB!"). I guess it has the equivalent power of a couple of cups of 
coffee.

Just another bit-o-gear for the boat.

-Patrick
