Back off, buddy, I'm armed and dangerous

So I'm an official member of the Epi-pen club.

Yep, I have to wander about with an automatic hypodermic loaded with adrenalin on my person at all times.

At first, I thought it was kinda naff, but then the doctor mentioned something that opened up a world of possibilities for me.

You know what this means?

It means I can carry a long, metal, pointed object onto planes and there ain't a damned thing security can do about it!

Booyah! Tree, the anaphylactic terrorist! Coming to an airport near you!

Muahahahahahahaha.

I am going to cause SO much trouble with this... [evil grin]

I suspect the novelty may wear off when you have had to show your prescription to security for the umpteenth time.

"Don't make me adrenal, you wouldn't like me when I'm adrenal."

LOL at both you and Reg!

Oh, heck, I have the pharmacy tape the prescription to the tube every year (not the box; who keeps the box?) so even airport security can't pretend they don't know what it is. That gets old much too quickly.

(Welcome to the "hah hah, I have a sharp pointy object that you can't take away from me, neener neener neener" club.)

I have my fun explaining to selected friends at appropriate times that I have this thing and if I've been careless, or maybe not*, and need to use it, here's how to help me. That's almost always good for a flash of mild shock.

*I'm in the same shoes, Tree: I discovered, the hard way, a little over two years ago, that certain foods I'd been eating all my life--like almonds, and cherries--will now kill me. The discovery incident required four hours in Emergency on IV drips. After that was a long round of testing sessions, so I've mostly got my hazards identified but the list is creeping longer already.

Sounds lovely, especially since I suspect that if a terrorist takes over a plane you are riding on, you probably would not hesitate to stick it in his juggular, am I wrong?
