I had a battle with insurance over the epipen. Found out I was allergic when I was on top of the vacuum station at a local car wash trying to clear out a clogged PVC pipe up there and ended up grabbing ahold of some hornets trying to build a nest. Before I realized what had happened I had been stung several times. Fell off the ladder trying to get down from up there. I think there was about 25+ stings. Boss drove me to urgent care. Then urgent care called for an ambulance. I had not experienced any difficulties breathing but the swelling was getting worse. I remember the skin stretching. Because my breathing was okay and I never lost consciousness or low blood pressure, I was not prescribed and epipen. Even to this day I don’t have one because my insurance says I don’t have a risk of anaphylaxis. Always afraid when I see a hornet near me.
