lynnmor 7,308 #26 Posted July 21, 2023 I carried an epi-pen while taking allergy shots, I kept it till it was expired. That same summer I was at Steam-O-Rama and a call came over the PA system for an epi-pen, it was a sad day because I couldn't help and the patient didn't make it. It is a shame that they are prescription only and not readily available for a sensible price. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found a pick ticket on some wood and ultimately figured out what TMA means. Thermally Modified Ash. It goes through oxygenless heat treating like processes to chemically modify the wood structure to resist rot, repel moisture, etc. That’s what the brown wood is. Thanks Kevin. Great interesting information, I’ll touch on it in another thread. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ineedanother 1,369 #29 Posted July 23, 2023 Just saw this. Scary! Glad you're on the mend. Along with the epi, always keep benadryl on hand. It blocks the histamine release caused by the venom and while not as fast-acting as the epi, it really helps with the after effects. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
