Thank you Sir but I did not express a real opinion - in that public place - about to carry or not to carry epipen. I just rectified significant inaccuracies or omissions.

What I meant to say:
Seek medical advice, consult a physician, get an individualized prescription.
Get trained. Epinephrine auto-injectors are sold in two-packs for a good reason.
Keep the auto-injector for epinephrine at room temperature (77F) 24/24.
As well, seek emergency help after use.

Jelly fish is a growing problem in the Mediterranean also, as it is in the rest of the world. They say that at least 150,000 people were treated for jellyfish stings around the Mediterranean each summer. Still talking of Mediterranean species of jelly fish, some says that the best protection against stings may be suncream, which prevents the venom released by the tentacles from penetrating the skin, I do not know whether it's useful or not.
