DS1 (8.8yo) has just been prescribed an EpiPen for the first time. He's allergic to egg, nuts, sesame and pulses but has never had an anaphylactic reaction. We saw a new consultant a couple of weeks ago who recommended he has the EpiPen "just in case".
Obviously we will have one at home and school will have one, but just wondered what others have done at parties, playdates etc when you're not there with your DC? Do you always send them with it if they're going round a friend's for tea and are other parents willing to be left in charge of an EpiPen or do you stay with your DC?
