This can be kept by individuals with a history of anaphylaxis in the past and can be self-injected when the need arises. What happens if an EpiPen is accidentally injected to an individual who is not really in need of it? In this episode, join in on the discussion with toxicology expert Lisa Booze from the Maryland Poison Center as she provides information on accidental EpiPen injection as well as what EMS professionals can do in such cases.
