we carry a dose in the car. My wife took a training class. I read the literature. 😕

I was concerned about the shelf-life but that seems to now be relieved since it can go for 2-3 years.

Be careful keeping it in the car if you live in a very warm climate or a very cold one - effectiveness is reduced -

But as I have read, better to have some on hand even if it has reduced effectiveness than not to have it at all.

Thanks for doing your part in this fight.
