    I'm allergic to it - inactive ingredients contain ethylenediamine dihydrochloride derived ingredients. But I'm thrilled for those this can help!

      The irony in being allergic to a drug used to treat allergic reactions is staggering. 😮

      @@DragonSt3alth I am allergic to eye drops, nasal sprays, cortic, all antihistamine except diphenhydramine & other gen 1 antihistamines, sunscreen, dyes, and latex amongst a number of other medications bc of that single ingredient. It's mind-blowing.

      Wouldn't it sort of offset the symptoms if even a little? Unless it's especially severe, in which case, would only the injectable be safe in this case? That's unfortunate to anyone finding out the hard way.

      @@DivineLightPaladin I appreciate you asking. I was diagnosed with the ethylenediamine dihydrochloride allergy the same day I was diagnosed with a ln allergy to cocomidopropyl (derived from coconut) when my daughter was 10 months old (she is 17? Now). For the 1st allergy I was handed a very long list of medications and other items to avoid due to the severe reaction I had on the prick test. This includes meds like hydroxizine and skin topical medications and more like inhalers (it's in the proelllant), eye drops, anti nausea meds like the zogran I took full term bc of hyperemesis gravidarum) etc. I I get a very painful rash so it's not life-threatening, but i believe it also progressed my latex allergy as well bc - not kidding - the drs prescribed multiple topical medications containing the allergen to treat the full body rash and hair loss I was already experiencing.
      The coconut allergy also progressed (it's also a latex x like the first allergy) and now I carry 4 epipens at all times and an housebound during the holidays bc I'm now airborne reactive to poinsettias, & anaphylactic to avocados and bananas.
      It's even in manny medical and other lubricants). In an emergency if I'm in a hospital unconscious and it's in a necessary med to save my life that can't be compounded I wouldn't really have a choice. But I can tell you my airway slammed shut during an upper endoscopy 5 years ago so they had to stop the procedure.
      I'm currently working on a full lift of my allergens for my primary - and I believe that number is in the triple digits, so I try to avoid that ingredient at all costs. I'm not even medicated yet for bechet's disease bc my drs are trying to figure out a safe alternative to the corticosteroids I'm allergic to.
      I haven't done an all inclusive ethylenediamine allergy list video on my channel yet, but I am working on one ad I build my list for my dr.
      This stuff is in so many things but it's thankfully a rare allergy.

      @VoteBlue4Peace-LoveInUSAagain Obviously they're different. I'm just expressing my experience with the Baqsimi, it was terrible. I take insulin injections 4-6 times a day. And pricked my finger just as many before I got dexcom.
      The shots are nothing compared to the pain the nasal spray for blood sugar caused me. Like I said if I needed something for anaphylactic shock and had to choose shot or nasal spray... I'm taking the shot every time.

      I'd say it's safer, no matter how many times people get to train with fake epipens, there is always someone who messes something up in the moment of stress and accidentally discharges the needle in the wrong place/ hurts themselves with it. Then there's also the size, EpiPen containers (especially if you carry multiple) can get pretty bulky. And it's likely going to be easier to teach a kid to administer it themselves & be less scared about the process. There's also definitely some drawbacks, but I think it might be a good solution for some people.

      Safety, comfort, supply chain, easier manufacture and probably longer shelf life since it doesn’t need to be injection sterile

      ​@@lenny7877that's why I like the Auvi Q brand version of the EpiPens. It's about the size of a small deck of cards and it actually talks you through how to do it in case of emergency if the allergic person is unable to talk or freaking out. I wish more doctors pushed them instead of the regular EpiPens. I can still see people messing up with these or if someone also carries Narcan, which quickly looks identical, they might dose the person with the wrong drug in the panic and chaos.
