carrying asthma inhaler in FL heat?

[BusyMom2Three]

Does anyone have experience carrying an asthma inhaler in the parks all day when it's hot out? The only info I found was that extreme heat can make it burst. I think it has to be pretty hot for that to happen, but I didn't know if this would affect the meds, and I feel safest having DS's inhaler right with us just in case. When we travel in March, temps vary throughout the day and have been anywhere from 50s to low 90s (though usually not that hot). I was planning on carrying it in my purse or DH's backpack.

We have always carried one and never had a problem. I actually never even thought about it bursting my DD just automatically takes it with her. We also carry Epi-pens in either a pocket or bag and haven't had any problems.

Same here for epi's and asthma inhalers--carried them both in WDW in October with record breaking heat. Also carry them everywhere in Kansas City in the summers--to the lakes, amusement parks, bike riding, etc and our temps get to over 100 in the summer. We have never had any issues. DS has a food allergy bag and we keep them in there.

Great! I'm reassured--thanks!

I carry my inhaler and epipens in 120 degree heat in California in the summer. No problems.

I've carried my inhaler around Disney in the August heat with no problems at all. And the medicine seemed to work as usual.

I always carry an inhaler with me & I live in FL. I have even left it in the car & it never exploded.

I live in Virginia where it gets nasty hot and humid and never had a problem. I also carry mine in my pants pocket.

Ditto what others have said. I think the heat has to be EXTREME for there to be an issue. I live in TN and I keep one in the car as well. Nothing has ever exploded....
