Reply to comment by shortyninja in ELI5: If allergies, and especially anaphylaxis, are so common, why do we still need prescriptions for epi pens and such? by boomokasharoomo

That's interesting. Did it lower the number of suicides overall, or just push ppl to a different method? If ppl are taking too much Tylenol on purpose, this solution seems... incomplete.

I’m not sure tbh. But a lot of suicides are spur of the moment things, so if you do something that makes it take time and effort to acquire the means to do it, people are more likely to talk themselves out of it.
