I had ordered a sandwich at a restaurant, which, to my surprise, had pickles on it. I have a vinegar allergy, and after consuming one of the pickles, my throat began to feel extremely irritated. I noticed there were four more pickles on the sandwich. I then administered an epi pen to myself. I’ve had this allergy since I was three years old, but this was the first time at the age of 30 that I had to use the epi pen. Although I was frightened, the process was not painful and quite straightforward. However, I did experience some shakiness afterwards. During this incident, I was with my one-year-old child. Thankfully, a kind stranger was present who sat with my child and guided me through the entire process. I’m grateful that I always carry the epi pen in my purse. It indeed saved my life on this occasion.
