Do you know, does that turn into benzoic acid on the ground too, or does it need those high-energy rays to convince them? (ie should old epipens be considered potentially dangerous due to benzoic acid)

Also, do you know how fast it goes bad (on the ground)? The pens have a best-before-date of about a year, often less, and I've always thought that was a method of increasing sales.
