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?

Keep one of those candles on you or long sleeves and long pants would be a friend for that as well

Don't worry too much - I was there for 14 months and never used it. Have a wicked time though, it is an amazing country!! :)

Use baby lotion! It repels them.

Get some lemon scented dryer sheets and keep them in your pockets and run them on your skin, moscitos hate the scent of lemon

There are different chemicals in different brand repellants. It is highly unlikely that you are allergic to them all. Try a different brand, and good luck OP!

Avon skin so soft is one of the best insect repellents you can buy. You should try that.

When I was a kid, we just took garlic pills to prevent bug bites. Worked pretty well. I'm like a bug magnet, and I'd only get a bite or two. Usually you need to start taking them a bit sooner, but might be worth a shot. Good luck!!

Try some natural repellents, or one of those clip things. Good luck OP!
