Health: Today, I went to the zoo with a guy I like, when we were there...

By busybee - 10/05/2009 03:38 - United States

Today, I went to the zoo with a guy I like, when we were there we saw a swarm of bees. I told him that if I got stung he would have to watch me because my dad is deathly allergic to bees and I have never been stung. Jokingly, he nudged me into the bush and said "let's see". We did. I'm allergic. FML

Today, I started my job as an assistant to a beekeeper. I forgot to put gloves on, and got stung like crazy. My hands swelled up to the size of baseball gloves. Turns out, I'm allergic to bees. FML

Today, I pulled a bee off of my friend's dog because we were worried he could be allergic. Of course I got stung, and of course the dog wasn't allergic. Turns out I am. FML

Today, I was walking through a field with my boyfriend and he picked me some pretty flowers. I hugged him and leant in to sniff them. In doing so, I inhaled a bee up my nose and had to force it out my swollen nostril after it had stung me. FML

Today, I got stung by jellyfish. As I was writhing in pain on the beach, my dad comes up and asks me to be quiet and that I'm embarrassing him. FML

Today, I got stung by jellyfish. As I writhed in pain on the beach, my dad comes up and asks me to be quiet, that I'm embarrassing him. He also mentioned that jellyfish were out today and that I should be careful. Thanks, dad. FML

Bee Movie 2: Electric Boogaloo

By Anonymous - 11/06/2021 13:01 - United States - Steele

Today, my "friends" who know very well that I am terrified of bees forced me to face my fears, despite my protesting. As my "friends" watched and laughed while I tried to keep calm, a wasp showed up and scared me half to death, thereby angering the other bees. My face looked like a giant raspberry after the fact.

Today, I got stung by a hornet. I asked my mum to pass me my allergy medication, but she refused, because they were my brother's, saying "he's allergic to bees and wasps!" No mum, wrong kid. FML

Today, a bee landed on my leg. I didn't realize it was there until my friend yelled out, "Bee!" kicked me in the leg, and ran off. I fell to the ground screaming and clutching my leg. She missed the bee and it still stung me. FML

What an asshole. Even if you weren't allergic that would still have sucked. Seriously, what the hell? "Look, there's a swarm of bees! Let's jump in and see if you're allergic or not!"

What a prick. You should have thrown him in with the lions to see if he was invincible.

You definitely can't have an allergic reaction without a sensitizing exposure first. If you have a reaction at all, it is mild the first time around. Your body needs to be able to develop antibodies to the antigen in order to mount a severe allergic response. You can have reactions to drugs, but those aren't necessarily "true" allergies, but toxic effects of the drug. I'm not a doctor but I do have a microbiology degree and I am a first year medical student.

€pic fail. I hope you slapped him and left him by himself after you got over the reaction.

Are you deathly allergic like your daddy? If so then FYL. If not then, have a nice life, it won't be that hard.

I like how all the women are downing the guy. I've been stung before. It's not that bad and I'm pretty sure he was joking. I think that's far more humorous than getting "love tapped" or turned on in public and get left out to dry by a girl.

He must be a ******** to even think about pushing someone into a pack of bees. Who the hell does that??

Bee allergies are not genetic, it's coincidence that you and your father are both allergic... But honestly that sucks super nuts and I'm sorry that happened! :(
