Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I discovered that I have developed a latex allergy. I'm a third year medical student. FML
Today, I had an allergy test. Not only was I allergic to 35 out of the 40 items, they also found out that I'm allergic to the latex gloves my doctor happened to be wearing. Now my entire back is covered in a rash that will last at least another week. 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 learned the hard way that I'm allergic to a particular brand of tampon. FML
Today, I finally went to have blood taken for an allergy test I really need. Afterwards, I had an allergic reaction to the bandaid they used on my arm. FML
Today, I got my first kiss. He had an allergic reaction to my chapstick, and broke out in hives. FML
Today, it was my first day being a full-time paramedic. I was shot in the arm. FML
Today, it was my first day with new contacts, but I found out they make my eyes red and itchy. Today was also the day I had a very important meeting. They think I showed up stoned. FML
Today, I found out I was allergic to bees, the hard way, at my wedding. FML
Today, I started my new job at a fragrance store. While training, the manager had me smell all of the scents to become familiar with the products. Before my shift was over, I'd had three asthma attacks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You can always use nitrile gloves. Hospitals usually use them anyway.

I was under the impression that most places use latex free gloves- it's become a common allergy! Hopefully they can accommodate. Good luck OP!

How have you never worn a glove or used a condom??? Get rubber gloves and always carry them.
