Today, I realized that the "pimples" on my back weren't pimples at all. Because I was unable to see how bad they were for the last week, I never caught on to the fact the they were, in fact, ticks. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the doctor for what I thought was a persistent bug bite. Turns out it was a mole I'd never noticed. I had been scratching it then applying anti-itch cream for weeks. FML
Today, I found out that the little red dots all over my body aren't some horrible disease like I originally thought. They're bedbug bites. I've managed to not notice a huge infestation for 5 months. FML
Today, I was about to get in the shower, when I felt an odd itch in my navel. I saw what I thought was bellybutton lint, so I pulled on it, and quickly realized what I had between my fingers was a still-squirming, headless tick. FML
Today, I realized that the cute freckle I noticed a few weeks ago is actually a giant blackhead. FML
Today, I thought my face was breaking out with pimples, and I thought it was weird because I never break out. And I noticed all these "bug bites" all over my body. When I got home, I realized those weren't bug bites. I have chicken pox, and my high school graduation is tomorrow. FML
Today, I went to the Doctor's for a mole my husband had said was, "growing and changing color". It turned out to be a wood tick. My husband knew, but said it was too "icky" to take off himself. FML
Today, I found out the hard way that blood-filled deer ticks can look a lot like black jelly beans. FML
Today, I found a tick half-buried in my nipple. FML
Today, the pimples on my face are finally clearing up. They seem to have migrated to my ass. FML
Today, I was eating a packet of chips while watching TV. I saw a crumb on the table in front of me, so without thinking I picked it up and ate it. It wasn't a crumb. It was a tick. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

When ticks are full they'll let go. It still sucks though! Hope you don't get limes dissease!

coming from someone who live in a area where ticks are very common, ew. do you not have a mirror in your home? and the main way of getting ticks, especially MANY ticks would be from being in the woods. in which case you ALWAYS check when you come out of the woods!

Wait its February... Ticks are only active when the temp is above 45 degrees. So I looked because I was curious, even in southern Kentucky it's in the 30s right now? Is this real?
