Talking Allergies

It's actually even weirder then that! But you are getting close with the duct tape. But I think it is the strangest idea I have ever come up with (and that's saying something!). I am just working out all the formalities, so I don't want to tell everything just yet, give me a week or two. But I am not making a product that will be for sale, and I don't want to compete with any of the excellent products available, in fact I will promote them (with their permission). At this point it involves a series of workshops for kids with chronic health issues. At this point I am calling it "The Lemonade Worshops", cos when life hands you a lemon...

Intriguing...
I can't wait to hear more!

E-belts are available at the Rexall in Manotick (sp?) and the EpiKozy is available at the Here We Grow Again in Barrhaven too.

they have some nice ones and we ordered ours and got it in 4 days.

First post time...

I may as well make it potentially productive so here goes:

Anyone happen to stumble on a case/holder that has the manufacturing materials and products listed? I'm having a few issues with possibly ordering something that is going to potentially contain materials I can't have. Especially with the move toward new fabrics and fibres.

BTW:

Hi,

Shelley,why don't you send an e-mailto the companies of products you are interested in and ask them?

I do that often. It's usually a long time coming back if at all.

It was one of those "if anyone had/has noticed" things.

I was looking at Mountain Equipment Co-Op online and I saw this Epi-Pen carrier:

I really like that it can be attached to any belt so, if it is sturdy enough, it could be transfered to a larger belt when the child outgrows the smaller belt.

What do you think?

It's very similar to the one I carry myself. I'm not sure if the one you linked to carry's one or two epi-pens though.

As for a child -- I still think the e-belt is the best. I wouldn't want my child flying into the playscape with an epi-pen in a nylon case around his waist.

But, by teen age -- that one looks similar to mine, but I think I paid more.

I think as a parent who wants to carry one, it might be useful. It looks to me as if it only carries one though.

Definitely, if you don't need to carry a purse or fanny pack, a carrier like that would be better.

I carry my own in it -- but I guess it would also be good for a parent.

Nice to be able to change belts!
