The EpiPen is a potentially life-saving device for those with severe allergies or asthma. The problem is that it costs $600 in the US.
Mylan, maker of the EpiPen, raised the device's price 300% in seven years, mostly because it could.
Now, a collective of doctors called Four Thieves Vinegar is offering a free online guide on how to make an "EpiPencil" for just $30-5% of the price Mylan charges for its patented pens.
