Finding out you are allergic to something in a survival situation

I have no known allergies that cause the serious allergic reactions like suffocation and things, but I know that you can become allergic to things you have consumed or touched for your entire life, and also that there are things in the world that you haven't eaten or touched before but might be in a position of needing to eat and touch in a survival situation. I'm not sure about other countries, but here it is very difficult to obtain medicine such as an epi-pen if you don't have the diagnosed illness associated.

However I feel that to be prepared for absolutely anything, a good first aid kit should surely contain an epi-pen whether you have any known allergies or not. What do you think?

 

Man, I can't image how much that would suck. It's the end of the world, and you go into anaphlyactic shock from eating something growing off a bush... An epi-pen would certainly come in handy; but I hope you'd have a vast supply of them stashed away. Especially if you're introduced to conditions often that might trigger an attack. I don't know much about epi-pens, as I've never had a need for one (though I used to be horrendously allergic to almost everything), but I'd also be weary of the expiration date if they have one.

 

Definitely but you can develop new food intolerances and allergies at any stage in life. Also depending on the situation, you might be left with no choice but to eat something you haven't tried before, surely.

 

I don't have an allergy that I am aware of, sadly. But for sure it doesn't mean that I have a good immune system, maybe I haven't just eaten or tried that many food or anything edible. I can't even imagine if I am out in the wilderness trying to survive and suddenly I got an allergy and I don't know what to do. -_-
