I got an Epi pen Rx from my doc because I wanted to be on the safe side. Then I went to fill it. $250. Of course, we have an HSA, so we pay out of pocket for everything up to $7K, so YMMV. I still want to have one, at least for kids.
They're good for 12-18 months, I believe. The incidence of true allergy to bees is less than 1%, I think. So the odds are vastly in your favor, but if you have decent medical and want to have one, why not. Be sure you understand how to use it. They're designed to go THROUGH your clothes, and you have to hold it in place for at least 10 seconds, which is a lot longer than you think when you can't breathe.
