EpiPen (epinephrine) & Shots: 1. Always carry an Epipen (epinephrine) 2. If you get stung give yourself Epipen (epinephrine) promptly. 3. Then get immediate emergency medical care. 4. Think of an Epipen (epinephrine) as an er in a can. 5. See an allergist for skin testing to bee venom. 6. If truly allergic you can get allergy shots that will make you immune to bee stings and may save your life.
