Today, I found out I'm allergic to bug repellent. So instead of having a couple of itchy bug bites, my skin feels like it's on fire and is violently itchy everywhere the repellent has touched. FML
Today, I'm allergic to not only bug spray, but also mosquitos. I'm staying at a bug-infested lake for 5 days. FML
Today, I found out that my "mosquito bite" was in fact a jellyfish sting I got in Mexico, which has caused me to break out into horrendous hives in the airport waiting for the flight home. It's okay though, the plane is only delayed for 7 hours. FML
Today, I found out I have a new allergy: the sun. My face is so swollen that it has started to bleed to relieve the pressure. Today is also day 6 of the 3-month European trip that I spent all year saving for. FML
Today, I got a mosquito bite under each armpit. FML
Today, I found out I was allergic to bees, the hard way, at my wedding. FML
Today, in spite of 2 different types of bug spray, underwear, and jeans, I discovered not one, but two mosquito bites on my vagina. FML
Today, I was getting ready for a very unpleasant doctor's appointment. I got out of the shower and used a new body spray all over my torso and arms. Turns out I'm allergic to it and now my skin is on fire, so now I get to go to an already uncomfortable appointment even more uncomfortable than I'd planned. FML
Today, 2 hours before a 13-hour flight, I found out I had head lice. I'm a 24-year-old woman. FML
Today, I found out that I am allergic to one of the preservatives that they put in aloe. I found this out after I put some on a severe sunburn I have. Not only am I sunburned, but now I am severely itchy as well. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Isn't there a little clip on mosquito repellent that you don't have to spray on your body?

Eucalyptus oil always works for me. Otherwise I am a complete mosquito buffet.

Try to get your hands on Avon skin so soft body oil. It works wonders. There is also a wrist bracelet that is a repellent that works. Also use lavender (the plant)

There are mosquito repelling bracelets that have citronella instead of the more harmful stuff

If you can get your hands on some Avon Skin So Soft body mist, use that. It typically performs the same function.

What kind are you using? Maybe try a natural alternative to the chemical ones?

Use listerine mouthwash I find it works better anyway

Amber Romance by Victoria's Secret works AMAZING. I work there and hunters come and buy it by the dozens for their trips. And it smells good :) I know you probably won't even see this because there are so many comments but good luck!
