"Epi-pen use in the absence of anaphylaxis could potentially exacerbate snake-bites by causing tachycardia (pushing the venom around) and worsening anxiety, as well as the other side effects of the drug."


Exactly what one poster a while back decribed.
He got a baby snake bite in thumb then got paranoid and hit himself with the epi pen with no igE reactions taking place.
Bad move!
He made the minimal bite much worse
in my many years of this hobby only two cases of true anaphylaxis
Have been mine.
Its easy to work around and prevent igE reactions.
ask tim he has had bad reactions and simply immunize through it and now not any bad reaction at all.
simple primitive and effective.
