Huh. My bottle of off-brand superglue from the dollar store reads 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate. Weird.
What I meant was that it’s not something that you’d find in a pre-made kit you’d buy at Rite-Aid or REI or someplace. At least, I’ve never seen one so equipped. (But then, it’s not something I’ve looked for.)
I think these may be prescription only in the US, which is unfortunate (regarding this concern) if it’s the case. I know the one I carry in my personal allergy kit (I have an uncommon food allergy, which has never gotten to that level of severity) is by prescription.
Yes, Epi-Pens are only by prescription in the US. You can get one if you are a trip leader for an organized group - many MDs will give you a script in that case. But otherwise carry Benedryl and ask the person if they carry a pen.
And my friend was advised against keeping an Epi-Pen in her car, due to the heat degrading the epinephrine. She has to have one at her daughter’s school, a couple at home, and one in her purse.
There are civilian versions of Quick Clot:

I also suggest a couple of those “survival blankets”, a good bright light, and some means of starting a fire.
