Yes, you can give an EpiPen to an unconscious person experiencing anaphylaxis if you have no other option and it's safe to do so. However, this should be done as quickly as possible, as anaphylaxis can be life-threatening. Always call emergency services immediately, as they can provide further assistance and care. If the person is unconscious, it's also important to position them safely, typically on their side, to prevent choking.
