45. I am asking "Are you suggesting I toss my epipen"?

since it's just placebo designed to make a profit rather than a medicine that will cure a condition. Whether I go near bees or not is essentially irrelevant to the question "does an Epinephrine injection treat an allergic reaction or is it just a placebo"?

A fair question for a broad brush.
