The technique and concentration in the edited audio are now also consistent with the published clinical practice guidelines. #25: Anaphylaxis and Everest March 2022 Wilderness & Environmental Medicine journal online: www.wemjournal.org Questions/comments/feedback and/or interest in participating in WMP?
