The freckle-faced boy in the Mylan EpiPen commercial is named Alex. He has become a recognizable figure in the campaign, which aims to raise awareness about the importance of carrying an EpiPen for those with severe allergies. Alex's portrayal helps to personalize the serious nature of anaphylaxis and the need for preparedness in emergency situations.
Call 911. Do not touch the black tip on the small end of the EpiPen. Do not take off the grey activation cap until you are ready to actually use the EpiPen. Hold the EpiPen in fist with black tip pointing down. Hold the black tip near the outer thigh of person in need of EpiPen. Firmly swing and jab into the outer thigh. Hold the EpiPen for 10 seconds. Remove the EpiPen and massage the injection area.
You need an Epipen prescribed by your doctor.
In some cases, yes, they can. Im allergic to all seafood! And sometimes i want to cry because I'll never be able to try shrimp or caviar. Usually for allergies like these, an Epipen is used. If you have an Epipen, please comment and tell me your allergy! Thanks.
The RAST score is not always an accurate picture of the severity of a person's allergies. This score can frequently change over time and may not have any barring on how or if someone will react to allergens. You should ask your doctor what symptoms you should look for that would require the use of an EpiPen.
Ok, well the answer is no. You do not NEED allergies, you are simply born with, or develop it. If you really needed allergies, then everybody on the face of this EARTH would have allergies.

No, an EpiPen is an auto-injector device that contains a pre-measured dose of epinephrine (adrenaline) used for emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). The EpiPen has a needle that extends and injects the medication when activated.
