It definitely works. Amazing how quickly Benadryl works topically and internally. Although they tend to have a short shelf life, I like carrying these Benadryl strips in my wallet to supplement the pills in my FAK.

Although I'm not severely allergic to anything, I also carry an EpiPen, just in case I or someone else should suddenly "discover" a potent, unfamiliar allergen out in the middle of nowhere.
