epi-pens should be a part of one's basic first aid supplies.


Do you have allergies? Why is this a necessary Baja medication? Will it help with scorpion stings? I treated mine with Tequila and it still hurt like all... :o :O :o :O :o



My son is allergic to bee stings... After questionong farmacias in Mexico and seeing something on the Internet, I discovered they are not available in Mexico.

One thing to remember, many medicins that require percreptions in the USA do not require them here. Anti-biotics and many other things are "over the counter" in Mexico.

In case one day the tequila doesn't work and your air passages begin to swell shut, the epi-pen will help. Keeps you from going into anaphylactic shock, saves your life.
