Emergency: Always good to have a epi pen in the house in case you or someone needs it. You must know however how to use it and more impotant if it pertains to your problem. Please see your emergency asap as your condition could be life threatening.

Yes: Absolutely. If you have allergies that are affecting that many body parts, you could have a reaction that gets worse. It would be a good precaution to have an epi pen.
