I omit antihistamine because I have no known allergies, am immune to poison oak, ivy, and sumac, and have only mild swelling at worst from bee and hornet stings. Wasp stings cause more substantial swelling but no other symptoms. I don't carry epinephrine for similar reasons, also it's expensive and bulky in any form. If you're deathly allergic, it's on you to carry your own.
No doubt I forgot to list something, this was all from memory.
