I think it is GG. That was the advice when a couple of recipients had a bad allergic reaction. They were both carriers of epipens so knew they had an issue.

Unless you’re allergic to the actual ingredients it seems you’re probably ok then NR

I don’t have an epic pen I’m allergic to anaesthetic so quite easy to avoid 😂 although I had a close call with a throat spray while in France once last minute my sister in law mentioned it to the pharmacist!

I’m hoping to get mine in about February. Not allergic to anything except morphine which brings me out in hives (I’d make a lousy junkie) so I’ve no hesitation about having it.

My gym has been turned into a test centre, one of the ones where you can be tested if you don't have symptoms. I might visit it at lunchtime if the line's not too long.
