Today, I had a mild allergic reaction from eating pasta salad. I told my mom that I might be allergic to the parsley, since it was the only ingredient that I don't eat often. She made me eat a sprig of it to "make sure." Now my face is covered in hives. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my boyfriend’s mom fed me a new dish containing peanuts, knowing full well I’m severely allergic. According to her, her ancestors “cured” allergies by exposing the person to the allergen. I went into anaphylactic shock. FML
Today, my mom baked a cake for the whole family. One spent EpiPen later, I found out there were nuts in it, which I'm severely allergic to. My mom's defense was that she thought I'd have "gotten over" my allergy by now. FML
Today, I was eating a mystery flavored candy and I had an allergic reaction. Not only did I have to go to the hospital because my throat swelled up, but I still don't know what I'm allergic to. FML
Today, my aunt asked me to babysit my cousin. She gave me a warning that he says he's allergic to foods to get out of eating them. When I brought out my homemade cooking, he told me he was allergic, so I made him eat it anyway. Turns out he WAS allergic. 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
Today, I saw the allergist, suspecting a shellfish allergy. I’m allergic to corn, peanuts, oranges, oats, perch, and salmon, but not shellfish. I have a freezer full of food I bought yesterday that I can’t eat. FML
Today, I had a serious allergic reaction to the food I ate at a Chinese restaurant that supposedly didn't contain peanuts. According to my waitress, peanut oil "doesn't count". FML
Today, I had an asthma attack. I grabbed my inhaler and found peanut butter on it. I'm extremely allergic to peanuts. FML
Today, I tried to blow my girlfriend's vegan parents minds by cooking them a tofu stir-fry. Being allergic to tofu but wanting to prove my cooking skills, I wore gloves and avoided touching my face. Somehow, I still managed to get it in my eye, causing an allergic reaction that made my face swell up like a balloon. Now her parents think I'm some sort of Martian. FML
Today, I was eating out with my partner, and we decided to use the new lube we bought. Things went great until I later realized I was allergic to it and a large red rash spread all across my mouth and chin. It won't go away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well now you know for sure. Though seriously, as someone with a ton of allergies just go get the shots.

OP - FYL, but you still need to learn how to stand up to your mum.

She just wanted to make sure it was the parsley, I mean she could have had added another ingredient you didn't know about or you could have developed an allergy to a product you frequently had (happened to someone I know). So now that you know it's parsley, go to the doctors, but still FYL.

Your mother is really stupid sorry to say. What is she a teen? Doesn't even know how to do a proper allergy test.

I feel sorry for you, OP. But that IS the most efficient way to get find out if you're allergic to something. Most of the times, doctors can't tell it just by hearing your symptoms.

Exactly, and doctors visits, tests etc would have been expensive. Some people can't afford that kinda stuff...

Instead of eating it you could have rubbe it against your hand or wrist to see if a rash came afterwards.

Why didn't she just take you to get an allergy test done at the doctor's office. You wouldn't have broken out in hives then.
