True, but there are many people who have EpiPens that don't "need" them per se. I have one for my daughter, because her mom (my ex) pressured the doctor to prescribe them for her, even though all she had was a small rash on her face when she ate her very first egg. (the doctor said Benadryl was sufficient for that) Since then I have (with a great bit of care, and an EpiPen handy) given her increasingly large doses of eggs, never seeing a problem, till she now eats eggs like everyone else. But still her mom is fearful and gets new EpiPens prescribed every so often. The point is, it isn't all black and white. If a kid has a severe allergy, sure, make sure you have a real EpiPen and carry it with you always. For those borderline cases, well, something like this might be fine. Having it reduces a really small risk even more. Another interesting point: even if a kid has a severe food allergy, they are still more likely to die from a car accident than from an allergic reaction.
