1. A medical alert necklace, comprising:
a container loop wearable around a neck of a user and configured to contain a medical dose as an ingestible for the user;
a personalized pendant to uniquely identify the user as having a medical condition, the personalized pendant including an alert system configured to receive an alert activation from a smartphone and activate the alert system effective to warn of a hypoglycemic condition of the user;
a fastening system to secure the container loop around the neck of the user, the fastening system including:
a magnetic clasp to secure the medical alert necklace as worn by the user, the magnetic clasp having a first tensional resistance that resists pulling forces separating the magnetic clasp; and
a plunger press-fit into the container loop and a plunger cap secured to the plunger, the plunger cap having a second tensional resistance that resists the pulling forces separating the plunger cap from the plunger, the first tensional resistance being less than the second tensional resistance effective to separate the magnetic clasp before the plunger cap is separated from the plunger responsive to the pulling forces, the ingestible being distributable for consumption through the plunger, and the container loop being refillable through the plunger.
