Extremely.
I carry an epipen with 2 benadryll in the case. If you're allergic and don't carry one you're a fool. Make sure you carry benedryl in your epipens or once the addren wears off you're going to be in bad shape again.
I've been stung on two occassions while riding, once in the mouth and once in the arm. I didn't have an epipen on the former occassion and it almost got ugly since we were mtn biking and 20 mins from the cars and another 15 from civilization.
I've had mine in plenty of hot situations many times over and over and over and they never darken which is the sign it's gone bad. I leave a couple in my med kit in the car and that gets to well over 100f in the summer. I wouldn't worry too much about the temperature.
