Hi Wayfaring! In one of my textbooks it says "oral diphenhydramine cannot abort an anaphylactic reaction quick enough". Does that mean that diphenhydramine via IV can actually stop an allergic reaction? I've never heard of anything other an an epi pen used to treat severe allergy!

Ok in an anaphylaxis situation, Epinephrine ALWAYS should come first. Diphenhydramine can help the hives and itching of a milder allergic reaction, but it doesn’t open up airways like epinephrine does.

In a non-anaphylactic reaction, Benadryl orally or IV may be more appropriate. But yeah, oral Benadryl not only doesn’t work fast enough in anaphylaxis. It also doesn’t do the lifesaving make-the-person-breathe thing that epinephrine does.

Thanks for mentioning the Hotwheels restoration. I just searched it on youtube and it's such a super chill thing to watch, thank you so much, this is just what I needed tonight.

Right? Me too. I actually watched because @dollsonmain posted a video and I’m just chill and comforted by watching this go down. Not too frantic, stressful, or loud and just like, yay arts and crafts and tools and a process and genuine enthusiasm and then something nice and shiny at the end. Good for sick brain.

I’m watching a channel called Diecast Resurrection for those of you who think you’d also like watching a Canadian man who is really made happy by Hot Wheels and fixing them up.
