Is epinephrine the only known way to treat anaphylaxis?
Post Body
Before the epi-pen came out, or in, say, a survival situation where one is not available, were/are there any alternative methods used to treat or at least lessen the severity of an anaphylactic reaction?
I read that epinephrine is a vasoconstrictor, which counteracts the drop in bp.
