I like it. It breaks the neck not the glass. Micro glass particles in muscle are meaningless anyway. Sterility is meaningless. Epi outside in air oxidizes and its effect is compromised. It's life or death. Plus what's anyone else doing to save $ for those who can't afford epipen. It's a start. Jmo

What people are doing (arty least medical personnel I've heard from) is recommending people get prescriptions for epi vials and syringes for self injection. Which is simpler than this. And cheaper. And easier to use. And safer.

Which is still not a perfect replacement for an autoinjector, but it's better than this contraption.
