If a person if having a sever allergic reaction (such as a bee sting) they would most likely be carrying an EpiPen. An EpiPen contains epinephrine and opens the airway. If they do have an EpiPen, remember its Blue To The Sky, Orange To The Thigh. Take the blue tip off and push and hold the EpiPen into the victims thigh and hold for 10 seconds. It is also important to call 911 as an EpiPen is only a temporary fix.
