TECHNOLOGY: Not recommended for airline travel CVS glucose syrup

NOT RECOMMENDED

For those of you who are a diabetic or travel with one, CVS produces a small 2 ounce glucose syrup for low blood sugar reactions. (A liquid that can be drizzled into the mouth carefully to avoid choking is ideal. There is a paste, a little like tooth paste, that you administer similarly. It’s a little harder to work with than the syrup. Clearly, a glycogen injection syringe is the gold standard, but the TSA might take a dim view of it.)

Anyway, this is not recommended for airline travel. The change in cabin pressure causes seepage. (It was in a plastic bag. But everything in the bag with it was sticky.)

Imagine if you had it in your pocket? Yuck!

By extension, I would suggest that all liquids, even those sealed might be subject to the same effect.

Forewarned is “four armed”!
