Will I have any trouble having an epi pin in my carry on? Will I make it through security with this okay or do I need a doctor's note or anything? Thanks!
I need a prescription for the epi pen? It is actually my 15 year old sister's. It will be just she and I traveling, no parents. She is extremely allergic to shellfish and seafood. I need to have it with me so I just want to make sure it will be okay.pumba said:if it is the same classification as insulin and syringes I would think.....it is important to keep all your meds and that too in your carryon.....Your prescription must be there for your meds too....

Did Miss Manners write a book on internet courtesy? I'll have to ask for that for Christmas so I can comport myself appropriately.
Does it have anything in it about it being rude to inform others on courtesy in "public"? Because in real life that is not very courteous.

They seem very impatient and judgemental with almost everyone and it shows in almost every post they put up, no matter what the question or subject matter. Maybe it's time for a "nap" from the boards.

Good grief--the issue of the 15 yo carrying her own epi is really none of our business.
First off she didn't ask about her sister she simply asked about being able to bring the pen. Second, do you intimately know the life of the OP? How do we not know if her sister does not have some serious mental delays? Perhaps she is physically impaired as well. As far as I can see PrincessJasmine has not posted anything to indicate whether or not her sister is capable of giving herself her own shot. Perhaps she is not. Perhaps she is not to be trusted with the epipen. I have worked with plenty of special needs people who should absolutely under no circumstances be in charge of their own epi. A few of them would have stabbed me with it for heaven's sake. Now, I am not saying this is the case with the OP but we have no more info that it is than that it isn't. The question was about taking the epi on a flight. My point is that I am sure the OP and her sister have made the best decision of how to handle in order to fit their unique circumstances.ducklite said:By asking the question, she opened herself up it being our business.
The 15 year old is old enough to carry her own Epi-pen. At 15 it's quite possible that they might not be together every waking moment, and if the OP has the Epi-pen in the ladies room when the OP suddenly feels her throat closing up, it's not going to do anyone any good, right?
Once a child is old enough to understand when it needs to be used and how to use it, they should be carrying it themselves. Like I said, it won't do teh sister any good if the OP has it and isn't right there when the sister needs it.

I mean, if you really feel she is so out of line why not just be courteous and PM her with the lesson on internet courtesy. It seems publicly educating someone rather than privately telling them is far far from courteous.
