DH is newly allergic to shrimp and peanuts so we have an EpiPen. I know there is a temperature restriction on these, so how do you carry one around WDW? Thanks!

The only time epinephrine was ever given my tongue was swollen. Once the epinephrine was injected my heart raced so fast you could see it beating through my clothes and I began to shake uncontrollably and I was freezing cold.
The other times an injection of Benadryl and have been fine. I also carry Benadryl pills with me and if I start to feel hives I can take that and it usually stops a reaction.
