Today,one of my kids became the proud owner of an Epi pen after an encounter with pistachios. Worthless nuts!

This represents a lifestyle change for the kid and me, as I'm not accustomed to carrying anything with me when not going back and forth to work except for my wallet, car keys and phone. Now I have to have this thing handy at all times and it's not exactly something that can be stuffed into your pocket.

Based on the stats I heard today, at least someone else here is in the same predicament. How do you carry you / your family member's Epi pen inconspicuously? Am I committed to a life with a fanny pack, must I always have my knapsack/briefcase with me now?

Just so we're clear: I'm not trying to trivialize anaphylaxis, just solve an unexpected logistics problem that has entered our lives and I don't need medical advice or commentary about allergies in general.

Thank you.
