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 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

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

There are other options, citronella spray, lemon and sage water spritzed on your clothes works too

If you live in Canada or the USA you can get "Skin So Soft" it works like repellent and also makes your skin.... SO SOFT. It smells wonderful too :)

try some more natural mosquito repellents OP. pure peppermint essential oil always works for me for both mosquitos and ticks. I even plant it around my porch every spring to keep them away from the house for when we have cookouts.

Use tea tree oil instead. It works just as well.

There's herbal remedies and stuff! You could always look up natural oils that repel insects. I think lemon does, I'm not sure.
